The Walsall rockers are set to embark on a UK headline tour, their largest to date, bringing their electrifying live show to venues across the UK in February and March 2018.

Kicking off in Brighton on 22nd February, the tour will also see Stone Broken headlining our second annual Winter's End festival on Friday 23rd February before calling at venues in London, Manchester, Glasgow, Newcastle, Nottingham, Pontypridd, Birmingham, Sheffield, Chester and Bristol.

The band will be joined at their headline shows by special guests Jared James Nichols and The Bad Flowers. You can see the full list of dates on the poster below:

Tickets for the tour are on-sale now in an exclusive 48-hour pre-sale via Planet Rock Tickets, before they go on general sale at 10am on Friday 27th October. GET YOUR TICKETS EARLY HERE!

Limited tickets for Winter's End are also on-sale via planetrock.com/wintersend.

Prior to the headline tour, Stone Broken will see 2017 out with appearances at WinterStorm Festival and our very own Planet Rockstock.

The band have also announced that their second studio album 'Ain't Always Easy' will be released on 2nd March 2018, following the signing of a new global record deal with Spinefarm Records - who will not only release the new album but will also re-issue the band's debut 'All In Time'.

'Ain't Always Easy' was produced and mixed by Romesh Dodangoda at Long Wave Recording Studios in Cardiff and will feature lead single 'Worth Fighting For'. The new track was exclusively premiered on Planet Rock Breakfast with Paul Anthony this morning (24th October) and will be available as a single and lyric video on 17th November.

The new record deal sees Stone Broken join a roster which includes the likes of Airbourne, Ghost, Rammstein and Whisky Myers. Enthusing about their latest singing, Spinefarm Records UK Head of A&R Dante Bonutto said: "Who doesn’t like big, driving riffs and massive choruses?! It’s easy to be impressed with Stone Broken on a musical basis alone – at last, a UK band with the sound and the attitude to make it possible for them to compete with rock’s elite names, most of them US-based.

"Add to this a down-to-earth approach, an understanding of the business side, plus a full-on work ethic, and you have a group whose career is already proceeding at pace. We’re hitting the ground running here, and given the close relationship that already exists between audience and band, I’m sure that the Stone Broken / Spinefarm axis will pave the way for a seriously exciting future..."

Ahead of the March 2018 release of 'Ain't Always Easy', a digital re-issue of 'All In Time' will be available from 17th November 2017, with an expanded CD and vinyl edition following in August 2018.
