Stereophonics brought their Spring Tour 2025 to the Rose City Friday night. The band did an honorable job of selecting songs from across their entire catalog and didn’t always go with the most obvious cuts from each of the records, but short of playing for three to four hours, there’s just no way to include all the singles. And bad news for any fans of the Pull the Pin or Keep Calm and Carry On records from the late 2000s—no songs from those efforts made it into the show.

Stereophonics has gone through a few revisions over the years, but the constants since the group’s inception have been frontman Kelly Jones and bassist, Richard Jones. Guitarist Adam Zindani has been with the band since 2007 and drummer Jamie Morrison since 2012, so the current lineup is actually the band’s longest at this point. The openers Witchesexist played a quick 30-minute set before Stereophonics hit the stage and opened with the infectious riff from “Vegas Two Times,” a dip into “I Wanna Get Lost With You” from Keep the Village Alive, and “Do Ya Feel My Love” from 2002’s Oocyha! record. Highlights of the first half of the show included tracks like the peppy “Have a Nice Day” and “Just Lookin’” with the chorus that seemingly erupts out of nowhere before Kelly Jones sat down at the keyboard for a solo rendition of “Boy on a Bike.”

“Superman” and “Geronimo” were a rockin’ one-two punch before the singalong “Maybe Tomorrow” came out, which quickly led to a stellar performance of “I Wouldn’t Believe Your Radio” on the ukulele. “Seems Like You Don’t Know Me” from the band’s forthcoming Make ‘em Laugh Make ‘em Cry Make ‘em Wait album got a great reception from the crowd before the show quieted down to help Kelly Jones belt out the always cathartic “Fly Like an Eagle.”

The rest of the show went straight to classic Stereophonics land with “A Thousand Trees” closing out the main set, the moody “Mr. Writer” kicking off the encore, and a great singalong to “Hurry Up and Wait” setting up the ending. Predictably, but always absolutely delightfully, the opening notes of “Dakota” came out as the band wished the crowd goodnight and the Crystal Ballroom’s floor started bouncing up and down to the beat. The band seemingly brought enough lighting for a small stadium show, which looked impressive with the crowd belting out the final lines of “I don’t know where we are going to!” as the lights hid and uncovered different members of the band in time before they walked off the stage for the night.
