The latest big-name musician to commit to a concert in Israel is Tom Jones,  according to The Times of Israel. The Welsh pop legend, 73, is slated to hit Tel Aviv’s Nokia Arena on October 26.

Audiences can look forward to hearing classics like “It’s Not Unusual,” “Love Me Tonight,” and “Kiss.”

Jones is joining an impressive list of artists who have played the Holy Land recently, including Barbra Streisand, Cliff Richard, the Pet Shop Boys, Alicia Keys, and Rihanna.
