Ahead of the tour, Cinema Stereo invited bands and fans across the UK to get involved, posting an open call on social media: “Hey, we’re Cinema Stereo and we’re looking for support on our upcoming UK tour! We’re looking to add some awesome local bands to the lineup, and we want to hear from you. Tag your band or your favourite local band in the comments and tell us why you should open the show. Let’s put together an unforgettable night, and we can’t wait to discover some amazing new music.”
The response exceeded expectations, with the band receiving a wave of messages, comments, recommendations, likes and posts from artists and music fans across the country.
After reviewing the submissions, Cinema Stereo selected eight local bands to join them on their November and December 2026 UK tour.
The dates form part of Cinema Stereo’s first full European and UK headline tour, taking the band through Belgium, Germany, France, Spain, the Netherlands and the UK throughout October, November and December 2026. Tickets are available from Cinema Stereo.

Produced by acclaimed Nashville producer Paul Moak, 12:34 represents the culmination of years of songwriting, touring and creative exploration. Across twelve songs, the album examines themes of growing up, chasing dreams, relationships, self-doubt, hope and the defining moments that shape our lives, while blending atmospheric textures, layered vocal harmonies, shimmering guitars, synths and infectious melodies.
Originally from Orlando, Florida and now based in Nashville, Cinema Stereo consists of Ian Rayha on vocals, bass, guitar and keyboards, Sebastian Borysek on lead guitar and Jeffrey Lageveen on drums. Drawing inspiration from artists including Queen, The Police, Cheap Trick, Aerosmith and The Killers, the trio have developed a cinematic, melodic alternative rock sound alongside a growing reputation for captivating live performances.
The album was recorded at The Smoakstack in Nashville, engineered by Zack Zinck, mixed by Paul Moak and mastered by Sam Moses, with album artwork created by legendary pop artist Kii Arens.
For the UK tour, Cinema Stereo wanted to go beyond simply adding support acts and instead create an opportunity to discover new artists while making each show feel connected to its local music community.
Tickets for the UK headline dates are available through The Gig Cartel and Cinema Stereo. The tour also includes an appearance in Faversham on November 25 and a performance at Planet Rockstock in Porthcawl, Wales on November 29.
