Friday 20th February: Gloucester Rugby is excited to announce the launch of the ‘Kingsholm Summer Series’ that will see concerts return to the stadium for the first time since 2019.
Global icon Sir Tom Jones will headline Kingsholm Stadium once more on Sunday 28 June, continuing his legacy of unforgettable nights in the city. Having sold-out in 2012 and performed to over 17,000 supporters in 2017, his return in 2026 promises to be another standout moment in Kingsholm’s concert history.
Over an incredible career spanning more than six decades, Sir Tom has sold more than 100 million records winning a plethora of awards along the way. And with his catalogue of era‑defining hits, the Welsh singer is set to deliver yet another spectacular summer evening in Gloucester.
The night before, the Kingsholm Summer Series kicks off with the Ministry of Sound Classical Orchestra on Saturday 27 June.
Ministry of Sound Classical takes on the very best tunes hand-picked from dance music history and recreated in a breathtaking performance by an incredible 31-piece orchestra.
From sell-out shows at the Royal Albert Hall to headlining major national festival stages, Ministry of Sound Classical has become one of the industry’s most sought-after live acts. It continues to redefine the concert experience, blending timeless club classics with the innovative power of a full-scale live orchestra.
These two events mark the exciting return of major concerts to Kingsholm Stadium, bringing live music back to the heart of Gloucester. Freemans Event Partners will lead the delivery of food and beverage operations alongside curated fan zones across all concerts.
Gloucester Rugby’s Chief Executive Officer, Alex Brown, is delighted to see the return of concerts to Kingsholm.
It’s an important step forward in our ambition to provide unique and exceptional experiences for our supporters, while also unlocking new opportunities for the Club to grow and diversify its revenue streams. That growth directly supports our ability to reinvest across the board and continue driving the Club forward.
I’m also hugely grateful to everyone who has worked to find a solution that allows us to welcome major events back to Kingsholm Stadium without compromising the quality of our playing surface.
I’m looking forward to seeing our home rocking as a concert venue once more and hope to see many of you join us.”
