What time are the Stereophonics on stage at Singleton Park, Swansea?

Excitement is building for the huge Stereophonics gig at Singleton Park in Swansea this weekend.

An estimated 35,000 people are set to pack out the venue on Saturday, July 13 .

We've prepared a guide of everything you need to know about the big event, along with a breakdown of all the road closures that will take place on the day.

And now, as the date draws nearer, the exact timings of when the band and support acts will take to the stage have been revealed.

It all begins when gates open at 3pm .

Fireroad will then kick things off when they take to the stage first at 4.50pm .

The four-piece, of Aberdare, are fronted by Richard Jones - who not only has the same name as the 'Phonics' bass player but was also in Tragic Love Company, which featured the original members of the famous Welsh rockers.

Then, Super Furry Animals frontman Gruff Rhys will follow when he performs his set at 5.45pm .

The artist, who released his fifth solo album, Babelsberg, last year to universal critical acclaim, is a welcome and Welsh addition to the bill.

It marks the second time in three years the Candylion creator has played as a support act in Swansea - having previously appeared at Manic Street Preachers' Liberty Stadium show in 2016 .

The next act will be Tom Grennan , who will perform all of his hits at 6.55pm .

Tom Grennan’s debut album, Lighting Marches, made a sizeable dent in the charts last year, reaching number five and became one of the biggest selling debuts of the year while also spawning the single Found What I’ve Been Looking For.

And it will then be the moment everyone is waiting for, as Stereophonics take to the stage at 8.15pm .

The show will celebrate 20 years since their 1999 career milestone show at the old Morfa Stadium in front of 55,000 people, and the release of their album, Performance and Cocktails.

This iconic album, which was the band’s second studio release, gave the band three straight top five singles in the British charts with The Bartender and the Thief reaching number three, and both Just Looking and Pick a Part That's New reaching number four.

The show will end at 10.30pm .
