Stereophonics Cancel Australia and Dubai Shows Due to Kelly Jones' Jaw Injury
October 8, 2025 – Welsh rock band Stereophonics have announced the cancellation of their upcoming concerts in Australia and Dubai. The decision comes after lead singer Kelly Jones revealed he is suffering from a "displaced jaw joint," making long-distance travel medically inadvisable.
In a statement shared on the band's official Instagram account, Jones expressed his disappointment: "I am gutted, saddened and disappointed to inform you all, that due to a displaced jaw joint (not caused by singing folks – just one of life's tense dizzying mysteries!) the upcoming Australia and Dubai shows are cancelled. Refunds will be given at point of purchase. Flying long distance is not medically advised." (radiox.co.uk)
Jones, 51, assured fans that the decision was not made lightly, emphasizing his commitment to delivering high-quality performances. He also confirmed that the band's UK tour dates in December 2025 remain unaffected and are set to proceed as planned.
Stereophonics, known for hits like "Dakota" and "Maybe Tomorrow," have a history of prioritizing their fans' experience. Despite this setback, the band remains dedicated to their upcoming UK performances and looks forward to returning to international stages once Jones has fully recovered.
Fans who purchased tickets for the canceled shows are advised to seek refunds from their original points of purchase. The band expressed gratitude for their supporters' understanding and patience during this time.
