Stereophonics' fans could barely believe it when, out of the blue, the band recently announced they were planning a huge one-off, open-air gig at Swansea's Singleton Park next summer.

And we have all the details you need to go to that gig.

The concert - which takes place on Saturday, July 13 - is a dual 20th anniversary celebration of both the Cwmaman rockers' seminal sell-out event at the city's Morfa Stadium in 1999 and the release of their platinum-selling second album Performance & Cocktails.

Those who were at that amazing show two decades ago - as well as those who didn't make it - aren't going to want to miss this chance to attend their idols' birthday bash.

So, here's everything you need to know to ensure you get yourself in the front row.

Were you there in Swansea back at the turn of the millennium?

What time do they go on sale?

At 10am on Friday, December 14.

How much do they cost ?

£49.50 (including booking fee)

Also Derricks Music in Swansea will be selling to those who want to drop by in person.

And this is how they were in 1999 (with the late Stuart Cable far right)

The 'Phonics packed out Morfa's 50,000 capacity in July 1999, just months before it was due to be demolished.

The crowd numbers were some five times the amount that turned out for the band's show at Cardiff Castle in 1998 and it turned into a celebration of all things Welsh - with such monumental moments as Gareth Edwards’ legendary 1973 try against the All Blacks and scenes from the Rhys Ifans movie Twin Town displayed on a giant video screen.

No flagging before the gig starts - fans at Morfa in '99

And, in the two decades since, Stereophonics have played at some of the biggest venues across the globe, amassing over 10 million album sales in the process.

Last year they performed to sell-out audiences in the UK via various festivals and a 15-date arena tour, the latter featuring summer homecoming gigs in both Wrexham and Cardiff.

This upcoming 2019 date will be the group's first time back in south west Wales since then.

Fans packed out Morfa stadium from all over the world

"Morfa '99 was a key moment for us as a band, a real milestone" says singer Kelly Jones.

"I remember the promoter driving us there in his Land Rover and telling us, 'You could get 50,000 people in here'

"At which point we just laughed at him - but they came, from all over the world , to see the show.

"It was a surreal and special day."
