Tony Gold Tom Jones Tribute – Empire Rochdale

If you fancy a proper afternoon of classic hits and smooth vocals, Tony Gold's Tom Jones tribute at Empire Rochdale on Sunday 9 August 2026 is exactly what you need. Gold is one of the UK's leading Tom Jones tribute artists, bringing all the charisma and signature moves of the Welsh legend to life, complete with authentic arrangements of favourites like "It's Not Unusual," "Delilah," and "Sex Bomb." Starting at 16:30, it's the perfect Sunday entertainment for fans of classic soul and rock.

Empire Rochdale sits just outside Manchester's city centre and has built a cracking reputation for hosting quality live music across all genres. The venue offers a proper intimate setting without being cramped, meaning you'll get excellent sightlines and acoustics whether you're catching a tribute act or bigger touring names. It's become a real favourite with Greater Manchester music lovers looking for something a bit different from the usual city-centre circuit.

Getting there's straightforward – Rochdale's well-connected by tram from Manchester Piccadilly, or there's decent car parking nearby if you're driving. Arrive early to grab a drink from the bar and soak in the atmosphere before Gold takes the stage. Wear something smart casual and be ready for an entertaining afternoon that'll have you humming Tom Jones all week long.
