Gloucester Rugby has announced that large concerts will return to Kingsholm Stadium in Gloucester, Gloucestershire, for the first time in seven years. The new Kingsholm Summer Series will feature major performances on June 27 and June 28, 2026, bringing big crowds and live music back to the city.
The weekend event begins with the Ministry of Sound Classical Orchestra on Saturday, which includes a 31-piece live orchestra. On Sunday, June 28, 2026, legendary singer Sir Tom Jones will headline the stadium for the third time in his career.
Tickets for the shows will go on general sale at 10:00 AM on Friday, March 6, 2026. Members of Gloucester Rugby and those who sign up online can access a 48-hour pre-sale starting on March 4, 2026.
Prices for the music events start at £49.50 for the Saturday show and £54.50 for the Sunday performance. Alex Brown, the head of the rugby club, said the concerts are meant to help people enjoy the growth happening across the city.
These will be the first major music events held at the venue since 2019. Local businesses are expected to see more customers as thousands of fans travel to the stadium for the performances this summer.
