Legendary R&B performer Billy Ocean is set to embark on a UK tour, next year. He is scheduled to play 14 shows, starting June 25, 2025. Tickets for the tour will start selling on Friday, September 27.

The Caribbean Queen singer is scheduled to begin his trip with a concert at the O2 Apollo in Manchester on June 4, 2025, before moving to Glasgow, Newcastle, Bristol, Leeds, Liverpool, and others in the remaining months.

He is expected to end the musical excursion in Wolverhampton, Cardiff, and Nottingham on June 27, 28, and 30, next year. Nonetheless, he will leave space for the 2025 Glastonbury Festival, planned to happen on June 29.

Billy Ocean’s upcoming UK tour comes as he is scheduled to embark on a headline tour across North America in October and November. He also recently celebrated the 40th anniversary of his iconic album Suddenly, which was his fifth studio album.

The record featured his first big chart hit Caribbean Queen (No More Love On The Run) and topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart and became the musician’s first record to reach number nine on the UK album charts.

The next Glastonbury Festival will take place between June 25 and 29, with some fans speculating who the possible headline artists could be. Names including Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, and Green Day have popped up so far.

SZA and country music legend, Shania Twain, and a host of other artistes entertained guests at the 2024 Glastonbury Music Festival in England.

The gates to the thrilling five-day event opened on Wednesday, June 26, 2024, with thousands of ticket holders securing camping spots on the vast landscape designated for the event.

Ayra Starr and Afrobeats Giant, Burna Boy, turned up at the concert, making them the first and only Afrobeats artistes among the host of entertainers.
