Billy Ocean

On 17 September 2026 at Gleneagle Arena in Killarney, Billy Ocean brings a blend of R&B, soul and pop, shaded by Caribbean reggae inflections. Born Leslie Sebastian Charles in Trinidad and Tobago and raised in Romford, he started out in London clubs before breaking through with Love Really Hurts Without You and Red Light Spells Danger. The mid-80s refined his sound with Suddenly, Caribbean Queen (No More Love on the Run), Love Zone and Tear Down These Walls, pairing supple vocals, tight hooks and sleek synth textures.

Still active on stage and in the studio, he’s carried that mix through Time to Move On, Because I Love You, Here You Are and One World. Live, expect a set that threads early hits and later cuts, slow grooves and uptempo runs, all anchored by that warm, flexible voice and a band geared for movement. A setlist built for sing-alongs and close-listening moments, tracing a career that has moved easily between dancefloor-ready tracks and smooth ballads, all in the room at Gleneagle Arena, Killarney, Ireland.
