Second Huge Tom Jones Concert at Cardiff Castle Announced
Welsh music icon Sir Tom Jones has delighted fans with the news of an additional concert in Cardiff this summer. Following the rapid sell-out of tickets for his original gig in the Welsh capital, a second show has been added to give more people the chance to experience his legendary performance.
Originally scheduled to take place at Coopers Field in Bute Park, the concert has been relocated to the grand setting of Cardiff Castle. The new date, Thursday, August 21, complements the already scheduled performance on Wednesday, August 20. Pre-sale tickets for the second show will be available from 10am on Thursday, March 27.
The upcoming concerts are part of Tom Jones’ Defy Explanation Tour and mark his only headline performances in Wales for 2025. Despite turning 85 this summer, Sir Tom shows no signs of slowing down, with fans eagerly anticipating classic hits like “Sexbomb,” “It’s Not Unusual,” and “Delilah” against the iconic backdrop of Cardiff Castle.
The move to Cardiff Castle follows Sir Tom’s triumphant three sold-out shows at the venue in 2023, where 30,000 fans gathered to witness his electrifying performances. Alongside Tom Jones, other big names lined up to perform at the castle this summer include Pet Shop Boys, Snow Patrol, Jess Glynne, and Rag ‘n’ Bone Man.
Nick Saunders from DEPOT Live expressed excitement about the added date, highlighting Tom Jones’ legendary live shows and the honour of having him headline not one but two performances at Cardiff Castle.
In a statement, Tom Jones shared his anticipation for the upcoming shows, expressing his love for Cardiff and the beautiful park setting. He reminisced about the success of his 2023 performances at the castle and promised a great summer evening for all attendees.
