15 pictures as fans flock to Cardiff Castle for sell-out Tom Jones gig
Fans flocked to the capital for his first gig in the capital since 30,000 people watched him perform across three sold-out shows at the same venue two summers ago.
The Welsh icon was full of praise for his home country on his return.
He said: "Diolch yn fawr first of all I would love to say, which I have to say, it's good to be home. Yes, Cardiff or as they say in Cardiff 'Cehdiff'. But actually I was born in Treforest, a suburb of Pontypridd, which is only 12 miles down the road.
"It always feels fantastic to be back in Wales. People tell me, but you don't live in Wales do you?"
He explained: "But Wales lives in me."
Tom was supported by Ben Ellis and Stone Foundation before he took to the stage at about 8.45pm.
He performed some of his biggest hits including Delilah, Sex Bomb, Not Unusual and What's New Pussycat, a setlist our reporter on the ground called "spot on."
If you're feeling like you missed out on Tom's first night then fear not, there are tickets left for night two, August 21, on Ticketmaster.
Prices start at £84.
Premium viewing platform standing tickets start at £218.90.

Sir Tom Jones stops Cardiff gig as he addresses boos from crowd
Tom Jones was on stage at Cardiff Castle when he spoke out about the controversy surrounding one of his biggest hits that was banned from use in Welsh rugby matches Sir Tom Jones was booed as he addressed the controversy surrounding one of his signature songs on Wednesday night. The singer, 85, headlined the Cardiff Castle for two nights from 20 August, and worked his way through classics like What's New Pussycat, I'm Growing Old and Sex Bomb for the crowd. But things became heated when it came to Delilah, which was adopted as the Welsh rugby national anthem for many years until it was banned by the Welsh Rugby Union in 2023. The banning came as a result of the song's lyrical content, which describe a man murdering the titular Delilah after he discovers she has been unfaithful. One line reads: 'I crossed the street to her house and she opened the door; she stood there laughing, I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more", and it was decided three years ago that the song should not be heard at major sporting events in Wales anymore as was thought to glorify violence against women. Speaking out about the banning, Tom told the crowds at his recent gig: 'Who's that man who said we shouldn't sing that song anymore? That used to make my day that on an international match." The Voice UK judge used to look forward to hearing his track performed by thousands ahead of a big game, and insisted that none of the lyrics should be 'taken literally'. He added: "I used to wait for it and then they said we can't sing it anymore. Who is this man who said we can't sing Delilah? They said it's about a man killing his wife with a knife. Well it is, but you shouldn't take it literally." It was then that crowd booed in support of Tom's backing of the song, reports WalesOnline. Delilah was first released in 1968 and became the sixth-best-selling single of that year after it reached number two. It went on to become one of Tom's signature hits. It featured in the 1990 film Edward Scissorhands that starred Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder, and the crooner performed it at Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee in 2012. But questions about the violent nature began to rise as far back as 2015, with the song's official removal from the Principality Stadium taking place nearly a decade later. A Principality Stadium spokesperson said: 'Delilah will not feature on the playlist for choirs for rugby internationals at Principality Stadium. The WRU removed the song from its half-time entertainment and music playlist during international matches in 2015. Guest choirs have also more recently been requested not to feature the song during their pre-match performances and throughout games. 'The WRU condemns domestic violence of any kind. We have previously sought advice from subject matter experts on the issue of censoring the song and we are respectfully aware that it is problematic and upsetting to some supporters because of its subject matter.' The use of the song had previously been criticised by Dafydd Iwan, whose version of Yma O Hyd has become synonymous with welsh football, after he said it was 'a song about murder and it does tend to trivialise the idea of murdering a woman." Rhondda MP Chris Bryant referenced the rise in domestic abuse during live sport as reason to stop playing it.
