Welsh superstar Tom Jones will play four shows in New Zealand next year.

Jones would bring more than 40 years' worth of hits, including What's New Pussycat?, It's Not Unusual and She's a Lady, to New Zealand in February ahead of 10 Australian shows.

Jones released his first single in 1964 and gained a legion of screaming, knickers-throwing female fans.

His career highlights included a BRIT Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music, a Silver Clef Award for Lifetime Achievement and a knighthood in 2006.

His latest album, 24 Hours, was released last year.

Jones last visited New Zealand in 2008 but next year's shows would be his first New Zealand tour in almost a decade.

He would be supported at his shows by Hello Sailor and The Lady Killers.

Tour dates:

  • February 21, Villa Maria Estate, Auckland
  • February 22, Michael Fowler Centre, Wellington
  • February 24, Town Hall, Dunedin
  • February 25, Westpac Arena, Christchurch

My whole family enjoy all the songs by Tom Jones. He could take any song and excel in it. He sings with a special passion n gives meaning to the lyrics. He is simply SUPERB. We wish him all the best on his tour of New Zealand n Australia.
