Van McCann and co. will play the huge venue on June 13, with tickets going on presale for fans at 10am on October 2 “ follow the band on Instagram for more information. Tickets go on general sale at 10am on October 4, and you can get yours here.
The new date joins previously announced headline stadium shows for 2025 for the Welsh band, at Cardiff s Principality Stadium on August 1 and the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on August 3. Some Catfish fans later spoke out about the unfortunate timing of the London date landing on the same day as one of Oasis reunion shows in the city.
Earlier this month, the band quietly cancelled their tours in Australia and the United States, just days after cancelling a show in Ireland minutes before doors were set to open. The latter came about because a member of the band had fallen ill.

Fans in Australia received notification of the tour s cancellation shortly before its scheduled kickoff on September 4. The tour s ticketing partner Moshtix confirmed all Australian shows had been cancelled due to illness.
In February, Catfish returned with the single ˜Showtime “ marking their first new music in five years. It ll feature on their yet-to-be-announced fourth album, which will follow 2019 s ˜The Balance .
The band also headlined this year s edition of Reading & Leeds festival. In a four-star review of their performance, NME shared: They see where they re headed. There s a cheeky, brief nod to their stadium-dwelling countrymen Stereophonics with a snippet of ˜The Bartender And The Thief , while the spotlight and theatrics of ˜2all show they ve got the moves for the big spaces.
The widescreen psych wig-out and breakdown of ˜Outside even has a smack of Pink Floyd to it. They re playing with a damn sight more compulsion than last time, and they certainly know what an enormodome band should look, sound and feel like. The crowd before us lap it up. Will they multiply to fill those spaces? Maybe the long shot will pay off.
