The shows in June and July will give audiences a rare opportunity to see unique and intimate performances from Kelly across an evening of storytelling and songcraft.

Heralded as one of the finest voices of his generation, Kelly will be performing songs in a more stripped back environment, giving fans the chance to hear a wide variety of music, taken from the Stereophonics catalogue of ten albums and 22+ years of music, including some of the band's rarely performed songs.

The evening will also feature songs from Kelly's 2007 solo album ‘Only The Names Have Been Changed’ as well as some brand new songs only recently written, all delivered alongside Kelly’s storytelling and tales from along the way.

The Don't Let the Devil Take Another Day tour will be visiting Manchester, Sheffield and Nottingham.

Kelly said: “I’ll be performing some old songs, lots of songs I don’t normally do, some new songs, songs that have inspired me (as well as stories that have inspired me). The tour is about overcoming things and moving on from obstacles and building strength from that. I am looking forward to performing with some new musicians and creating some beautiful moments”
