Sir Tom Jones is set to return to the Green, Green Grass of Home this summer when he performs at Cardiff's Bute Park.

The 84-year-old, who was born in Treforest, will be on stage at Coopers Field for Live at Bute Park on Wednesday 20 August.

It is his only Welsh headline performance on his 2025 Defy Explanation tour. Sir Tom's appearance at the spot marks his return to the Welsh capital after he played to 30,000 fans in the summer of 2023. In response to this summer's gig, the international and multi-award-winning singer said:

With a career spanning more than six decades, Sir Tom has sold more than 100 million records and is now a regular face on ITV's singing contest, The Voice.

He joins the previously announced electronic music duo Basement Jaxx who will headline Live at Bute Park on Sunday 24 August with more headliners to be announced.

The Live at Bute Park concert series is promoted between Cardiff-based DEPOT Live and UK promoters Cuffe and Taylor.

With a capacity of up to 15,000 people, Live at Bute Park says it aims to enhance the offer of outdoor concerts in the city towards the end of summer.

Nick Saunders, founder of DEPOT Live said: “We are absolutely delighted to be bringing Tom Jones to Coopers Field to launch Live at Bute Park with what will be a stunning show.

"Tom Jones is without doubt an absolute music legend around the world, and a homecoming show from him on Welsh ground will be a truly memorable experience.”

Tickets go on general sale at 9am on Friday 21 February.
