James Blunt and Tom Jones coming to Palma this summer joining Pet Shop Boys and Blondie

Palma's councillor for culture, Javier Bonet, the manager of Grup Trui and head of this series, Miki Jaume, and the director of Insel Radio, Daniel Vulic, gave the details of this new musical event for this summer.

Jaume described the Palma Concert Series as "a great project for the city, for the islands and for lovers of good music and culture". For these reasons, both Jaume and Bonet highlighted the choice of the day, the Festival of Light for the "Vuit de la Seu", a moment in which "Mallorca is the centre of the world" due to the unique moment that takes place at Palma's Cathedral.

Taking advantage of the event, James Blunt and Tom Jones have been presented as the first two names of this new musical cycle, although it has also been advanced that "there will be surprises" that will be revealed in the coming weeks and that will form after knowing a total line-up of four artists, all of them with a profile of "music legend".

In the case of Blunt, author of hit songs such as You're Beautiful and Goodbye My Lover, among others, this will be his first performance on the island, and he will be playing at Trui Son Fusteret to a maximum audience of 4,000, with guaranteed seats for all those attending.

The same will be true of the concert by Tom Jones, known for the likes of It's not unusual, Sex Bomb and Delilah.

Tickets will go on sale on February 7 and will be available at the official points of sale - palmaconcertseries.com and elcorteingles.com. The price of the tickets will start at 65 euros and there will be a premium VIP box area for 1,500 euros for groups of six people.
