It comes hot on the heels of a monumental summer for Stereophonics.
They've played to over 500,000 fans across the UK and Europe, including a string of sold-out outdoor and stadium shows.
And earlier this month, the band played a showstopping headline set at the Isle of Wight festival, with Rolling Stone UK dubbing the band's set as 'the highlight of the night' that 'upheld every expectation' for 55,000 festival goers.
The group - made up of frontman Kelly Jones, bassist Richard Jones, lead guitarist Adam Zidani and dummer Jamie Morrison - released their brand new album, Make 'Em Laugh, Make 'Em Cry, Make 'Em Wait, back in April.

It marks their ninth number one and thirteenth studio album.
On the album, frontman Kelly said: 'Some of the stuff on this record is uplifting, anthemic and feel-good and then there are other songs that are introspective.'
This weekend, the Welsh quartet will cap off their summer stadium run with two sold-out homecoming shows at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on Friday and Saturday.
They'll kick off their UK tour in December with shows in Nottingham, Newcastle, and Sheffield before heading north of the border.

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HULK Hogan's final conversation with his daughter reportedly came nearly two years before the iconic wrestler died. The Hulkster, born Terry Gene Bollea, sadly passed away aged 71 on Thursday before the pair could fix their strained relationship.

But Brooke Hogan, 37, is telling people she is glad she had one last chance to tell her father that she did love him, TMZ reports. The pair last spoke in September 2023 - two weeks before Hulk married Sky Daily which Brooke is said to not have attended. Brooke is said to have told her father by phone that she loved him and was concerned he was working so hard at 70 years old. She told the iconic pro-wrestler to slow down and enjoy life, after a legendary four-decade career in wrestling and pop culture. Brooke's husband tried to repair the relationship but Hulk is said to have responded coldly, even when she nearly died during childbirth earlier this year. It comes as a recent photo published by Hulk's son Nick has emerged. The DJ and music artist shared the throwback snap for Father's Day saying: "Had a great Father's Day with the goat! Happy Father's Day to all the awesome dads!" The photo shows Nick dressed up like his father as a young boy with the pair pulling a strong-man pose. In March, Brooke spoke about the relationship with her parents after she had become estranged from both. Meet WWE legend Hulk Hogan's stunning wife Sky Daily, who is 25 years his junior and a yoga teacher She explained experiences in her childhood "robbed" her of "self esteem" and "confidence." "It took me many years to figure out the things that were seemingly done 'for me' really benefited someone else in a greater capacity." She claimed to have received texts from family members with "unbelievably hurtful words" that "cannot be forgiven." "My family is very skilled at war. I so badly wanted to see good in them, protect, help, and start anew—just to be disrespected again and again. I longed for a normal family, but it never came to fruition. 7 Hulk Hogan opens up 'Hogan's Beach Shop' with his family Credit: The Mega Agency 7 Hulk speaks before Donald Trump at a campaign rally at Madison Square Garden last year Credit: AP "I've repeatedly held my hand out to help them, only to have them pull me into the darkness with them. I've set boundaries that were not respected, and at this point, I can truly do no more. "Each individual, on their own, has given me more than enough reasons over the years to make this extremely hard and painful decision to end contact." Hulk died after police and emergency medical personnel were called to his home in Clearwater, Florida, at 9.51am on Thursday. Clearwater Police told The U.S. Sun that first responders responded to Hogan's home after receiving a call about a cardiac arrest. Hogan was transported to Morton Plant Hospital, according to a police report, and was pronounced dead at the hospital. Hulk's had been suffering from health issues in the weeks leading up to his death, including rumors that he was on his "deathbed" and in a coma. 7 Hulk with daughter Brooke (right) Credit: The Mega Agency 7 Hulk and son Nick Credit: Alamy However, Hogan's wife, Sky, denied the reports, stating his heart was "strong" and he was recovering from a neck procedure. Jimmy Hart, Hogan's former longtime manager, updated fans on The Hulkster's health, saying in an X post that he was "doing phenomenal." "Hulk is doing great, doing phenomenal! Last night at karaoke with Nick was absolutely fantastic, baby!!!" Hart wrote. The WWE confirmed Hogan's death in a statement, "WWE is saddened to learn WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan has passed away. "One of pop culture's most recognizable figures, Hogan helped WWE achieve global recognition in the 1980s. "WWE extends its condolences to Hogan's family, friends, and fans."

New Harry Potter attraction launched in iconic Scots movie location
Scroll down for times and tickets THAT'S MAGIC New Harry Potter attraction launched in iconic Scots movie location Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A NEW Harry Potter attraction is launching in Scotland this summer. Fans of the book series and movie franchise have long flocked to the north to visit locations featured in the flicks. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 The Scottish landmark was used in four films 5 Harry Potter and his pals travelled on the train to Hogwarts over the viaduct 5 Now bus no. 9 ¾ will take visitors to the village 5 Scots schoolboy Dominic McLaughlin plays Harry Potter in the new HBO series Credit: HBO Glenfinnan Viaduct has been one of the favourites, as the Hogwarts Express travelled across the famous bridge in four of the films. Now a new weekend bus service is being introduced to encourage more of the 600,000 annual visitors to Glenfinnan to leave their cars behind and travel a little more magically. And the bus line has a name inspired by the books, being called no. 9 ¾ - or 934. This is in a nod to Platform 9¾, the magical place Harry and his pals caught the Hogwarts Express when heading for school. According to those behind the bus journey, the service offers a 'spellbinding alternative to driving' with comfy seats and scenic views. The new timetable is part of a community-led effort aimed at helping plug a gap in public transport provision to the tiny village on the shores of Loch Shiel in Lochaber on Saturdays and Sundays. It's a pilot scheme to gauge public appetite for a motor-free day out and help relieve pressure on local car parks, which quickly fill up at this time of year, leading to hazardous kerbside parking and traffic congestion along the famous road to the Isles. The National Trust for Scotland (NTS), Glenfinnan Community Council, Glenfinnan Community Facilities Charitable Trust (SCIO), Glenfinnan Station Museum and HITRANS have each contributed to the cost of the buses. Local authority councillors have also backed the project by supporting an application to The Highland Council's Discretionary Budget, while local bus company, Shiel Buses, will operate the service. Glenfinnan businesses are also offering 'green rewards' as a thank you to those visitors who show them a valid bus or train ticket. Harry Potter legend breaks his silence as replacement cast in HBO TV series These include the NTS Visitor Centre offering a complimentary hot drink, and two-for-one on climbing Glenfinnan Monument, along with a range of other discounts. Kate Forbes MSP commented: "Glenfinnan has become an iconic destination for visitors, with thousands of visitors every year. This has created pressures on local infrastructure, which I have been working to resolve with local residents. 'A few years ago, the community successfully built a much larger car park. However, this has quickly become too small. As such, I have been chairing a task force to identify solutions over the last few years. HOW TO GET THERE THE summer weekend bus service will run four times a day at the weekends, between Fort William and Glenfinnan, from now until September 7. It is just one of many train and bus services that travel to Glenfinnan seven days a week. Visitors will be able to get on the Glenfinnan weekend bus at Fort William bus station, Lochaber High School (free parking available at weekends), Kilmallie Hall in Corpach and Linnhe Caravan Park. Times for the new service, along with timetables and prices for all other buses and trains, can be found in the 'Guide to visiting Glenfinnan without a Car.' This can be viewed and downloaded from 'I am delighted to see a new solution to get more people out of their cars. This will hopefully be transformational, as more visitors choose to share transport. 'I am enormously grateful to all the key stakeholders – The Highland Council, HITRANS, Shiel Buses, National Trust for Scotland and every local resident that has been helping drive this forward.'
