Touring at 84-years-old actually is unusual.
Iconic crooner Tom Jones just announced he’ll embark on a 17-concert North American tour this September and October.
Midway through the quick fall run, the ‘Ages & Stages Tour’ will take Jones and his timeless stable of his to a trio of New York and New Jersey venues.
First, he’ll swing into Atlantic City’s Hard Rock Live on Sunday, Sept. 15. Two nights later, the “What’s New Pussycat” singer drops into Brooklyn’s new Paramount Theatre on Tuesday, Sept. 17. The quick Tri-State run will come to a close at New York City’s Beacon Theatre on Wednesday, Sept. 18.
For those concerned that the octogenarian won’t sound like he did back when he won the Grammy for Best New Artist back in 1966, you need not worry.
“At 82, his voice was as strong as ever, and before I knew it I was up on my feet dancing in front of my chair,” Next Avenue wrote about a 2023 Jones show.
If this sounds like the show for you, fans can purchase tickets for all upcoming ‘Ages & Stages’ shows on sites like Vivid Seats; the official on-sale is Friday, June 28.

Tom Jones new music
Jones isn’t just spending time on the road these days — he’s also in the studio.
Most recently, the Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee released his 12-track “Surrounded By Time” album in 2021.
Featuring Jones’ signature deep voice, he shies away from his typically upbeat fare for more melancholy, reflective fare like the heavy opening tune “I Won’t Crumble With You If You Fall.”
Still, he has fun on catchy tracks like “Popstar” and “Samson and Delilah.”
For our money, it’s the best classic rock record of the ’20s.
