James To Play U.K. Arena Tour With Razorlight In 2024
The two legendary indie outfits team up for shows beginning in Aberdeen on June 3, 2024.
James will be embarking on a U.K. arena tour with Razorlight as special guests in 2024. Following on from a hugely successful 40th Anniversary year, the band will head out on a run of dates in June next year which includes Co-Op Live in their hometown of Manchester, and culminates at London’s 02 on June 15.
James receiving the PRS Music Icon Award at the 2023 Ivor Novello Awards, kicking off a whole year of celebration for the band’s 40th Anniversary. This prestigious award was followed by the release of their orchestral double album Be Opened By The Wonderful which peaked at No. 3 in the UK charts in June and a run of sold out tour dates, receiving the best reviews of their career. Throughout the summer the band then headlined multiple UK and European festivals, culminating in two unique shows backed by full orchestra and choir at The Odeon Of Herodes Atticus, Athens and a Special Guest headline slot at Latitude Festival.
In an official statement, James vocalist Tim Booth said “Deeply proud to announce that we are touring next year to coincide with the release of a rather wonderful new album that we are mixing this week. The new songs sound belting, and will fit this arena tour. Really looking forward to celebrating with you. Expect a mixture of the expected and unexpected – just like life. Nothing but love.”
Bassist Jim Glennie added “We are delighted to announce our 2024 Arena Tour, supported by the wonderful Razorlight. Come and share a night of biggies, rarities and a sizeable chunk of our exciting, next NEW album! See you there folks. With love, Jim from James.”
