Sir Tom Jones

The Welsh star is to perform at Durham CCC this July

Sir Tom Jones has confirmed his date at Emirates Durham International Cricket Ground.

'The Voice' is set to perform a full live set on the green, green grass of the Emirates Durham ICG on Saturday, July 14.

Emirates Durham International Cricket Ground is to host Sir Tom Jones at an amazing summer concert and excitement is already building as the concert is fast-becoming the must-see event of the social calendar.

The Welsh legend, who has sold more than 100 million records over 46 years, achieved worldwide fame early in his career, topping the charts around the world with hits such as It’s Not Unusual and Green, Green Grass of Home. Sir Tom still tops the list of online ticket searches, demonstrating that he remains one of the UK’s most sought-after entertainers.

Sir Tom is now a coach on the hit new BBC One show, The Voice, which recorded peak viewing figures of approximately 10 million when it debuted on Saturday, March 24. His fellow coaches are Will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas, Danny O'Donoghue from The Script and the multi award-winning Jessie J.

Securing Sir Tom Jones is fantastic news for the cricket ground as it builds on its growing reputation as a prestigious open-air concert venue. It is expected that the concert will be a sell-out with people travelling from across the north of England.

Durham County Cricket Ground chief executive, David Harker, said: “It’s not unusual for us to attract superstars from the world of sport but we are incredibly excited to welcome a global music superstar to the Emirates Durham ICG. Sir Tom Jones’ concert will really put us on the cultural map as an iconic venue for fantastic entertainment.

“We are expecting demand to be very high from the offset. Sir Tom Jones is one of the most recognisable names in music with a huge fan-base so we really would encourage fans to buy their tickets now to avoid disappointment.”

Tickets for the concert start at just £37.50 and are available from the Durham County Cricket Club website at: www.durhamccc.co.uk
