Billy Ocean

Following the 40th anniversary of his landmark album ‘Suddenly’ and special vinyl re-release, Billy Ocean has announced a huge UK tour. ‘The Very Best of Billy Ocean’ will see him perform all of his greatest hits and fan favourites at first direct arena, Leeds on 21 June, 2025. 

Before 'Suddenly', Billy Ocean had two #2 hits ("Love Really Hurts Without You," "Red Light Spells Danger"), but the album catapulted him to stardom. Its lead single "Caribbean Queen" topped the U.S. charts and earned him a Grammy, with follow-up hits like "Loverboy" and the title track also achieving global success. 

He continued his rise with albums 'Love Zone' and 'Tear Down These Walls', producing hits like "When The Going Gets Tough" and "Get Outta My Dreams." After a break, Ocean returned in the 21st century with awards, chart success, and sold-out UK shows, bringing his total album sales to over 30 million worldwide.
