Eighties pop icon Paul Young to return to Diss Corn Hall in 2026

An 80s pop icon is set to return to Diss singing songs and sharing stories from his incredible career.

Paul Young will be at the Corn Hall on May 20 next year and tickets went on sale this month.

It’s part of his Songs and Stories tour next spring - including a run of dates in the UK and Ireland.

His new show will kick off in Dundalk, Northern Ireland, on April 26 concluding at Whitby Pavillion on June 20, 2026.

Lee Johnson, Corn Hall Diss general manager, said: “I am over the moon to welcome back with open arms, the wonderful talent of Paul Young.

“For all those fans of Paul's that have followed his career from the heights of the 80s until today, this intimate concert will mean his fans can get up close and personal with him.

“We are offering a meet and greet package as well as a premium package where audience members will receive a goody bag.

“Paul has previously performed at The Corn Hall Diss in 2024 and the audience responses was so positive, he clearly had to come back. Everyone is excited by this icon of the 80s performing here next year.”

Paul broke into the big time 40 years ago when No Parlez went to number one and spawned iconic hits like Wherever I Lay My Hat (That’s My Home).

More success followed with the number one album, The Secret of Association and the worldwide hit Everytime You Go Away, not forgetting an appearance at Live Aid and more.

Paul sustained that success – while having fun in his Tex-Mex band, Los Pacaminos. Now, he’s looking back during these intimate shows, that combine conversation and acoustic versions of songs.

Paul’s will be meeting fans, singing songs, and telling stories about his incredible career.

Paul said: “I had such a great time on my last tour – every night was a blast – and I can’t wait to share Songs and Stories with even more fans.”
