Lion Walk Shopping Centre will welcome one of the biggest names in music tomorrow for a live performance on the streets of Colchester.
Tom Walker, the smash hit singer-songwriter who has become a social media revelation through his last minute ‘live on the streets’ performances, has revealed Colchester city centre as his next destination.
Tom declared he’s coming to Colchester on Saturday, July 6th, announcing on TikTok “Colchester, I’m coming your way this weekend. We’re gonna be doing a gig at 11am and a gig at 1pm. It’s free, completely free of charge, so come down, have a watch, sing a few songs. It’s gonna be lovely. Colchester, I’ll see you Saturday.”
The trip to Colchester will give fans a chance to hear some of Tom’s biggest hits, plus a sneak preview of his upcoming album, I Am, which is due for release September 20th this year.
The Scottish star has seen his Toms Towns tours go viral across social media, giving free performances in different locations across the towns and cities he visits.
Back in March, Tom visited Tamworth, playing live to huge crowds in the centre of the town while dedicating some of his hits, such as Just You And I, Burn, Head Underwater and Leave a Light On, to residents he had met during his time there.
Tom’s date in Tamworth followed similar visits to Wrexham and Barnsley, and there is the added attraction of his famous Tom-bola – which provides on the spot prizes for fans.
Now it Colchester’s turn.
Martin Leatherdale, Centre Manager at Lion Walk, commented: “Obviously we’re delighted to hear Tom has just announced online his plan to come and visit us this Saturday as part of his viral social media series #Tomstowns. What a treat for our shoppers to have a private concert! It’s hugely unexpected and we’re really excited to see him. We know Colchester will give him a great reception. Come along and see us in the morning and get your spot ready!”
