Tom Jones hasn’t performed at Dreamland since the 1960s.

Those hoping to see the It's Not Unusual singer who missed their chance to book before his first Kent date sold out can buy tickets here from Thursday, February 9 at 9am.

The legendary singer will be celebrating a career spanning seven decades with his Ages and Stages tour, which will also visit Brighton this summer.

His string of hits, which have seen the 82-year-old sell more than 100 million records worldwide, include the likes of What's New Pussycat?, Delilah, She’s a Lady and You Can Leave Your Hat On.

UB40 last performed at Dreamland in 2021 but this will be their first time to return to the venue since the sad passing of their trumpet player Astro.

From Birmingham the reggae icons released the single We’ll Never Find Another Love this year, along with their latest album ‘Unprecedented’.

Tickets go on sale on Friday, February 10 at 9am and can be booked online.
