Welsh heart-throb Tom Jones will play a second concert in Belfast this summer.

After a first gig date at Botanic Gardens on May 31 sold out, promoters have announced they will release tickets for a second date, on June 3.

The singer, who is well known as a judge on ITV's The Voice, will also perform in Belfast on June 3, just days before he will celebrate his 80th birthday.

A spokesman for the promoter said: "Tom Jones’ 50+ year career has remarkably gone from strength to strength.

"Sir Tom is indeed a living legend, one of the few musical artists whose profession began at the dawn of modern popular music who continues to have a vital recording and performing career to this day," he said.

"His irresistible show traverses musical eras and genres, cuts across class divides and appeals to young and old, male and female, mainstream and cutting edge. Sir Tom has always been about the power of the song, the power of the voice".

Tickets for the June 3 gig go on sale Monday, March 2 at 9am from all usual outlets.
