Billy Ocean has announced a huge UK tour for June / July 2025.
‘The Very Best of Billy Ocean’ will see him perform all of his greatest hits and fan favourites across 17 dates including a very special show at London’s iconic Royal Albert Hall.
Due to demand, 3 extra shows have now been added for July 2025. Tickets are on sale now.
Billy Ocean had enjoyed chart success with a pair of #2 hits prior to ‘Suddenly’ (‘Love Really Hurts Without You’, ‘Red Light Spells Danger’) but this record catapulted him to new heights. Its lead single ‘Caribbean Queen (No More Love On The Run)’ raced to #1 in the States and #6 in the UK, with the follow-ups ‘Loverboy’ and the title track also international smash hits. The album was similarly successful, leading to his first Top 10 album positions in both the UK and US, while ‘Caribbean Queen’ would later be rewarded with a Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Performance.
Billy Ocean’s success continued in the wake of ‘Suddenly’, achieving similarly great things with the subsequent albums ‘Love Zone’ and ‘Tear Down These Walls’, as well as further signature hits such as ‘When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Gets Going’, ‘There’ll Be Sad Songs (To Make You Cry)’ and ‘Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car’.
