After their show stopping performance at T in the Park and a headline slot at V Festival, Stereophonics have announced 10 UK tour dates this December – including two dates at Cardiff Motorpoint Arena.

Their ninth studio album Keep The Village Alive is out now and is written by Kelly Jones, produced by Kelly and Jim Lowe. It comes hot on the heels of 2013's acclaimed, platinum-selling Graffiti On The Train.

After selling out all 16 arena shows in 2013, Stereophonics are expected to once again draw in the crowds on their upcoming tour. Starting in Bournemouth on December 2, the band – Kelly Jones (vocals/guitar), Richard Jones (bass), Adam Zindani (guitar) and Jamie Morrison (drums) – will go on to play Manchester, Leeds, Glasgow, Newcastle and Birmingham before arriving in Cardiff on December 12 and 13.

They will complete the tour at London's O2 arena on December 16.
