“I’m afraid we have some bad news to follow the good… We are gutted to be unable to come to play to you in Portugal with our new ecstatic band But one of us has tested covid positive and so… We will return in the spring. Miss you, love you, stay safe.” – Tim

The new Portugal dates will be April 21, 2022 at Super Bock Arena in Porto and April 22, 2022 at Campo Pequeno in Lisbon. All tickets remain valid or can be refunded at point of purchase, including the VIP soundcheck packages.

We’re sorry to hear about those fans who can’t attend the final tour shows in Manchester and London due to testing positive for Covid-19. You can request a refund by emailing customer service your positive lateral flow test before 4pm on the day of the show.

“It was such a privilege to not only perform in a circle around a roaring fire in the middle of freezing Yorkshire, but to then try and piece it all together so that it made sense to the world! Our band can fill arenas and make huge noise but it’s quite something when we get together without machines, stuff and people and just play…beautiful x” – Saul

Magic Bus from The Campfire EP, a limited edition numbered CD available from our store, on tour or to download and stream now.

We’re pleased to announce an intimate warm-up show at Wolverhampton’s KK Steel Mill on 23rd November ahead of our UK arena tour.

Tickets including a special VIP soundcheck will be available from 9am Tuesday 9th November in a James pre-sale.

We’re also partnering with Wolves Records to support the local music community, by accepting submissions for local support act who have struggled to get heard during the pandemic.

The beginning of the new James 9-piece began at Broughton Hall. The sessions there felt magical. The Campfire EP is a slice of the magic we created one evening around the campfire, lead by this special version of Miss America from the library.

A limited edition numbered EP is out 19th November and available to pre-order.

Saturday 2nd July 2022 will mark the 30th anniversary weekend of the band’s legendary Alton Towers show. To celebrate the occasion, for one night only, they’re going to perform the same songs from that special night’s set at Manchester’s Castlefield Bowl.

Jim remembers, “It was a crazy day that was nearly defeated by the weather and the gig was all the more celebratory due to the near miss. Come and celebrate 30 years since that iconic day and this time with guaranteed sunshine!”

Tickets go on general sale at 9:30am this Friday, but fans can get pre-sale tickets 24hrs ahead of that from 9:30am this Thursday here.

Oh no. After the wonderful gig last night we have just received this bad news. What a time of uncertainty we are in.

“Little did we imagine when we walked away from the show in September 2019 in Porto that we wouldn’t play a show for almost 2 years…but here we are! The opportunity to come back ‘home’ to Porto and Lisbon to perform for that beautiful Portuguese crowd is unbelievable! I can’t wait. What a privilege to have you, our Portuguese fans, behind us!” – Saul.
