Tom Jones, the legendary Welsh singer, is scheduled to headline concerts at Palmerstown Estate House in Kildare on August 9, 2026, and at Custom House Square in Belfast on August 12, 2026. This announcement comes as Jones continues to captivate audiences with his powerful voice and charismatic stage presence.
Born Thomas John Woodward, Tom Jones has been a prominent figure in the music industry since he began his career in 1963. He gained fame with hits like “It’s Not Unusual” and “Delilah,” and has sold over 100 million records worldwide.
Jones married Melinda Trenchard in 1957 when he was just 17 years old. The couple shared a long marriage that lasted 59 years and produced one son, Mark. However, their relationship faced challenges, as Jones admitted to having affairs with over 250 women during their marriage.
Melinda Trenchard passed away from lung cancer in 2016 at the age of 75. Reflecting on her death, Tom Jones stated, “When my wife passed away – God bless her – I didn’t know whether I would make it.” This sentiment highlights the deep bond they shared, as Melinda once expressed, “I feel alive when [Tom] comes through the door, whatever time of the day or night it is.”
In April 2021, Jones released his latest album, “Surrounded By Time,” which showcases his enduring talent and ability to adapt to changing musical landscapes. As he prepares for the upcoming concerts, fans are eager to see how his performances will evolve.
The concerts in Kildare and Belfast are expected to draw large crowds, as Jones remains a beloved figure in the music world. Observers anticipate that these events will not only celebrate his extensive career but also serve as a tribute to his late wife, who played a significant role in his life.
As the concert dates approach, details regarding ticket sales and additional performances remain unconfirmed. However, the excitement surrounding Tom Jones’s return to the stage continues to grow, promising an unforgettable experience for fans.
