Info
Palace Bowl Presents hosts Tom Jones with Billy Ocean at Crystal Palace Bowl, London, on 5 August 2026. Tom Jones, born in Pontypridd, has steered a path through pop, soul and rhythm and blues since the 1960s, with a voice equally at ease with crooner finesse and tougher shades. Early singles like It’s Not Unusual, What’s New Pussycat? and Delilah defined a style that mixed originals and covers, drawing on rock and country. In recent years, he has leaned into sparser, roots‑leaning arrangements on Praise & Blame, Spirit in the Room, Long Lost Suitcase and Surrounded by Time, a repertoire that shows how his phrasing and presence keep songs at the center.
Sharing the bill, Billy Ocean brings a catalogue where R&B, soul and pop meet Caribbean inflections. After the breakthrough of Love Really Hurts Without You and Red Light Spells Danger, the mid‑eighties delivered Suddenly and the hit Caribbean Queen, followed by Love Zone and Tear Down These Walls. His supple tone sits over tight grooves and melodic hooks, and later albums from Time to Move On to One World confirm a singer who keeps refining his approach while staying close to the dancefloor pulse.
