TICKETS for the Stereophonics’ winter date in Liverpool go on sale today.

The Welsh trio play the Echo Arena Liverpool on December 9 for a show that will see them revisit a decade of hits to tie in with a forthcoming “best of” compilation.

Decade In The Sun, out in November, will span all six of the band’s studio albums, five of which reached number one in the UK charts, with singles including Dakota, The Bartender and the Thief, Have A Nice Day and Handbags and Gladrags, as well as recent chart successes from last year’s number 1 album, Pull The Pin.

The album also features two brand new tracks, You’re My Star and My Own Worst Enemy, of which the former will be released as a single later this year.

Stereophonics – Kelly Jones, Richard Jones and Javier Weyler – formed in Cwmaman, South Wales, in 1996, and the band have transcended their Britpop beginnings to become giants of the British rock scene, amassing 11 top five hits, 21 top 20 hits, and 9m worldwide album sales.

Tickets for the Liverpool date, priced £29.50 (plus booking fee), go on sale at 9am today from the Echo Arena box office on 0844 8000 400 or online at www.accliverpool.com
