Last updated 27th Mar 2017
The Punchestown Music Festival returns this Summer with a two-day line up featuring headline sets from Tom Jones on Saturday 29th and Jess Glynne on Sunday 30th July.
Both nights are backed up with an extensive supporting bill with Deacon Blue, Lightning Seeds, Dr Hook, Roland Gift, Village People, Smash Hits, Shane Filan, All Saints, ABC, Bjorn Again, Boney M, Smokie performing across the weekend.
Tom Jones’ 50-year career has remarkably gone from strength to strength. Along with sustaining his popularity as a live performer and recording artist for five decades, he has garnered—at the age of 76—the best reviews of his career for his most recent albums Long Lost Suitcase, Spirit In The Room and Praise & Blame.
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. His irresistible show traverses musical eras and genres, cuts across class divides and appeals to all ages, male and female, mainstream and cutting edge. Sir Tom has always been about the power of the song, the power of the voice.
On the Sunday evening, platinum selling artist Jess Glynne returns to Ireland for her headline slot. Jess was armed with the biggest selling debut album of 2015 which featured chart topping hits ‘Don’t Be So Hard On Yourself’, ‘Hold My Hand’, ‘Take Me Home’.
