Tom Jones is set to perform a handful of outdoor live shows this summer. Tickets for the shows in Margate and Cardiff go on sale at 9am on Friday 21 February, while his racecourse and Dundee shows will be on sale on the same day from 10am.  Scroll to the bottom of this article for a detailed list of his UK performances. 

Now 84 years of age, the veteran singer’s shows will form part of his Defy Explanation tour, which will no doubt find him singing some of his most popular songs, from the sinister 60s power ballad ‘Delilah’ to his cheese-dance era of ‘Stoned In Love’ in the 90s. 

Starting at Haydock Park Racecourse on Friday 4 July, Jones will then hit venues in Margate, Dundee, Esher, Newmarket, Market Rasen and Cardiff throughout July and August. 

Jones said, ‘Performing live is the centre of my life and I’m really pleased to be returning to racecourses across the country to play to such welcoming audiences. 

‘I can’t wait to spend a summer’s evening with everyone this July and August.’
