On this day, 12 March 1997, American pop legends The Monkees played Cardiff International Arena.
The return of all four Monkees to the United Kingdom in early 1997 was long awaited by fans who had last seen them perform together there for a limited run of dates in 1967. It was also the first complete Monkees tour to feature Michael Nesmith since the band's reformation in 1986. The group traveled to England in January to conduct a press conference at London's Hard Rock Cafe and subsequently appeared on numerous UK television and radio talk shows to hype the arena concerts and their brand new studio album, Justus.
