Kelly Jones, the lead singer of Stereophonics, has recently shared his plans to embark on an intimate UK solo tour, which is set to take place later this Spring. The six-date run of gigs will see Jones play 12 shows in total, with two shows scheduled each day at each venue. One show will take place at 7 pm GMT while the second will be at 9 pm GMT. Jones will commence his tour at the Birmingham Town Hall on Sunday, May 5, and will then make his way across the UK, stopping at Glasgow, London, and Cardiff before wrapping up at Manchester’s Aviva Studios on May 17.
The announcement of this tour comes as part of Jones’ promotional campaign for his second studio album, ‘Inevitable Incredible,’ set to be released on May 3.
