The entire event will also be live streamed on TikTok, showcasing the best of what Huddersfield has to offer to a wider audience.
Kirklees Council are supporting the event and are delighted to be welcoming Tom to the town.
Kirklees Council Leader, Councillor Carole Pattison said:
“It’s very exciting that our community can enjoy two free performances from a Brit award winning star in the heart of Huddersfield. I’m delighted that Tom has chosen to visit Kirklees and highlight all there is to love about our area.”
Scottish singer-songwriter Tom, who triumphed as the Best Breakthrough Act at the 2019 Brit Awards and had a number one selling album, ‘What a Time to be Alive’, has a special connection with Yorkshire, expressing his fondness, “People up north are very lovely, my wife Annie is from Huddersfield, and so I love Yorkshire.”
Tom’s new single ‘Holy Ghost’ was released on Friday 19 July, a love song that was inspired by his Huddersfield-born wife Annie.
