Stereophonics have announced their thirteenth studio album Make ‘em Laugh, Make ‘em Cry, Make ‘em Wait, out April 25, 2025.

The band have also shared the projects lead single, 'There's Always Gonna Be Something'.

“'There’s Always Gonna Be Something' is a song that could be describing the restlessness in uncertainty, struggling to arrive at acceptance," commented singer Kelly Jones. "A part within all of us.”

Since their first LP Word Gets Around in 1997, the South Wales-formed band have gone on to become one of the UK's most successful alternative rock acts, enjoying eight No.1 albums. Their upcoming record is the first since 2022's Oochya!

As with previous album artwork, Kelly has gravitated towards different art forms to influence the project's aesthetic.

“I went to New York, I visited some galleries, I saw ‘ART IS A GUARANTY OF SANITY’, a painting by Louise Bourgeois," he said. "She believed art was a form of mental healing and a way to process difficult emotions. The spelling caught me first, then the simplicity of the words etched onto a pink tile. So I tried scratching my title, inspired by my own art school teacher thirty years ago. And I loved it. I loved the simplicity of the pink. The pink album was born”.

Stereophonics will be heading on a world tour this year, with dates lined up for Belfast, Dublin and Cork in June.
