Tom Jones will perform at Bute Park in Cardiff this summer, it has been confirmed today.
Jones heads to Live at Bute Park on Wednesday 20th August 2025, for the new series taking place on Coopers Field over the August Bank Holiday weekend. The show is Jones' only Welsh headline performance on his 2025 ‘Defy Explanation' tour.
The appearance at Live at Bute Park marks his headlining return to the Welsh capital after playing to 30,000 fans across three sold shows at Cardiff Castle in summer 2023 – with shows selling out within 10 minutes of going on sale.
Announcing the show today, Tom said: “I love Cardiff and am really looking forward to playing in this beautiful park. The three shows I played at the castle in 2023 were absolutely fantastic, and I’m sure this will be the same — a great summer evening for everyone.”
With a remarkable career spanning more than six decades, Jones is widely considered to be one of the greatest singers and recording artists of all time, selling more than 100 million records and continuing to be an esteemed and influential figure in the music industry.
He joins the previously announced electronic music duo Basement Jaxx who will headline Live at Bute Park on Sunday August 24 – with more headliners to be announced
The Live at Bute Park concert series is promoted in a partnership between Cardiff-based DEPOT Live (the live-events arm of Cardiff music venue, DEPOT) and UK promoters Cuffe and Taylor.
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.”
