The O2

Stereophonics will follow up their hotly anticipated appearance at V Festival with a greatest hits tour that will culminate in a final night at the world's most popular music venue, The O2, on Saturday 20th December.

The tour will revisit all the best moments from the band's 'decade in the sun', from early classics like 'The Bartender And The Thief' to songs from their latest UK no. 1 album 'Pull The Pin'. This impressive canon of hits will also be brought together for a first 'best of' collection, which will be released on 17th November.

Entitled 'Decade In The Sun: The Best Of Stereophonics', this is a timely collection that brings together all the band's most memorable tracks. Kicking off with the 2005 UK no. 1 smash 'Dakota', the hits come thick and fast.

Stereophonics - Kelly Jones, Richard Jones and Javier Weyler - are one of the UK's most successful bands. Originally formed in Cwmaman, South Wales in 1996, the band have transcended their Britpop beginnings to become giants of the British rock scene, amassing 11 top five hits, 21 top twenty hits, and 9 million worldwide album sales.

David Campbell, CEO and President of AEG Europe, owners and operators of The O2, said: "December is an extremely busy month at The O2 and also turning out to be a month where some of the greatest rock bands will play the arena. Already confirmed in this genre are Coldplay and Kings of Leon - Stereophonics make it a trio of brilliant bands not to be missed."
