Britain’s Billy Ocean will perform his hits at the Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center on March 31, 2026, with tickets going on sale to the general public on Oct. 3.
Ocean has sold more than 30 million records worldwide, according to a news release.
“Since Billy lives in England, he is only in the United States for a limited time, and I’m honored he chose Sandy Springs for his performance in this market,” said William Haggett, executive director of the Performing Arts Center. “This is a rare opportunity for fans to experience one of pop music’s most iconic voices in an intimate setting.”
Ocean’s setlist of chart-topping classics includes “Caribbean Queen,” “Get Outta My Dreams; Get Into My Car,” “When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going,” and “There’ll Be Sad Songs (To Make You Cry).” He has earned a Grammy Award and multiple gold and platinum records.
Born in Trinidad and raised in London’s East End, Ocean’s breakthrough single “Love Really Hurts Without You,” was followed by a string of international successes that dominated charts throughout the 1980s and beyond.
Ocean took a hiatus to spend time with his family before returning to the stage in 2007 and has continued to perform to sold-out audiences around the globe. His most recent album is “One World.”
Tickets became available online to Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center Members on Oct. 1. Sales to the general public begin on Oct. 3 at 10 a.m. Ticket prices start at $85.
The Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center also announced that “Dog Man: The Musical” will only be scheduled for 2 p.m. on Oct. 11 and 12. An earlier show on Oct. 11 was canceled by the tour management team, a PAC spokesperson told Rough Draft Atlanta.
