The one, the only, Billy Ocean is returning to Cork Opera House in 2018!

Billy Ocean is the biggest soul star Britain has ever produced, one who has sold over 30 million records in his lifetime to date.

The King of Soul will perform a selection of his hits as featured in his latest album released earlier this year, ‘Here You Are: The Best of Billy Ocean’. The album includes a massive 31 hits and coincides with the 30th anniversary of ‘When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going’, which hit the number one spot for four consecutive weeks in the UK on its release in 1986.

With worldwide sales of over 30 million, the Grammy Award winner hit the number one spot across three continents in the 70s and 80s, counting no fewer than six UK top 10 singles.
