The show has played at the Hollywood Bowl, Melbourne's Sidney Myer Music Bowl and London's O2 Arena. Earlier this year, Tong marked the tenth anniversary of Ibiza Classics with a series of four sold-out performances at the Royal Albert Hall.

Simply Red will perform on Wednesday, 18 August with support from Heather Small and Soul II Soul. Ronan Keating and Blue will take to the stage on Saturday, 21 August.
