Tom Jones Edinburgh: Princes Street Gardens concert stage times, support, setlist and how to get there

Sir Tom Jones is coming to the Capital as part of Edinburgh Summer Sessions 2022 – here’s everything you need to know ahead of his double-header of gigs.

The Welsh treasure, whose career has spanned six decades, will play two open-air shows at the Ross Bandstand in Princes Steet Gardens on Wednesday (August 10) and Thursday (August 11).

No stranger to Edinburgh, having played several huge gigs in the Capital over the years, Sir Tom has sold over 100 million records worldwide, and enjoyed dozens of Top 40 hits.

Last year, shortly after his 80th birthday, he became the oldest man to top the UK album chart.

Sir Tom Jones is coming to the Capital as part of Edinburgh Summer Sessions 2022.

Surrounded By Time, his 41st studio album, also gave him his fourth number one – and his first since 1999’s Reload.

It features 12 covers – although Sir Tom is not fond of the word – ranging from the psychedelic (The Windmills Of Your Mind) to the epic (Bob Dylan’s One More Cup Of Coffee) and the heartbreakingly personal I Won’t Crumble With You If You Fall, a tribute to his late wife Linda, who died of cancer in April 2016 at the age of 75.

Fans can expect to hear tracks from Surrounded By Time in Edinburgh this week, alongside classics such as It's Not Unusual, What's New Pussycat, Delilah, Green, Green Grass of Home, She's a Lady, Kiss, and Sex Bomb.

Who is the support act?

The Shires are a British country music duo made up of singer-songwriters Ben Earle and Crissie Rhodes.

The band have supported other acts including Little Big Town, The Corrs, and Carrie Underwood.

Their debut single Nashville Grey Skies was released in 2014.
