Tom Jones

On 12 August 2026, Tom Jones plays Custom House Square in Belfast. The Welsh singer first emerged in the mid-60s with a voice that bridged orchestrated pop, soul and rhythm and blues. From It’s Not Unusual to What’s New Pussycat? and Delilah, those early singles set a direct, unadorned style he has carried on stage ever since. Between studio sessions, Las Vegas runs and his TV show at the turn of the 70s, he built a repertoire that he later kept renewing, notably with cross-generational collaborations on Reload in the late 90s.

On stage today, Jones leans into stripped-back, rootsy textures shaped by his recent albums Praise & Blame, Spirit in the Room, Long Lost Suitcase and Surrounded by Time. Expect familiar hits reframed with blues, gospel and folk colours, alongside story-led covers and deep cuts that let the songs breathe. It’s a set focused on phrasing, groove and presence rather than retro polish, carried by a band that leaves room for that baritone to do the work. In Belfast, the show traces six decades of music without leaning on the past, finding new angles on songs you know by heart.
