Today (November 1), Stereophonics and Heritage Live have announced that the Welsh rockers will headline the Royal Sandringham Estate in Norfolk on August 16. Blossoms and Jake Bugg – who have been billed as special guests – will be joining Kelly Jones and co. at the gig. Per a press release, one more supporting act is due to be announced.
Heritage Live Festivals’ Giles Cooper said of the upcoming gig in a press statement: “We’re absolutely over the moon to bring together a line-up that will make for an incredible Saturday at Sandringham. Stereophonics are undoubtedly one of the greatest British guitar bands of the last 30 years and to hear their anthems at such an amazing venue is going to be really special. And what a unique line-up of such hugely talented artists with Blossoms, and Jake Bugg! It’s undoubtedly going to be one of those gigs that we all remember for many, many years to come!”
The show is the second Sandringham gig that Heritage Live have announced for August 2025 as part of the organiser’s Sandringham concert series, which will run from August 14 and August 17. Michael Bublé was previously announced to headlining the Sandringham Estate on August 17.

Frontman Kelly Jones said of the tour: “Being on the road again with my best friends, playing all the hits of this band’s catalogue, for people in huge outdoor gatherings through the summer of 2025 makes me so excited, we should make a new album…oh wait …we already did that! See ya there for more good times….TUNE!!! TUNE!!! TUNE!!”

“But a lot of music I was creating was getting lost,” he said. “New music sometimes needs a concentrated space to be appreciated fully in its correct surroundings and context, many great songs I presented under Stereophonics got overlooked by the anthems and radio favourites.
“I want to make music like filmmakers make films. Different subjects and landscapes and tones from one project to the next. I saw Ethan Hawke say somewhere, something like, No one gives a fuck about poetry or Yeats until their Dad dies and then they need a verse to tell them what it all means at the funeral. I think this album is a little like that.”
