Touring This October
With over 25 million albums sold over a long standing career, JAMES are amongst the most commercially and artistically successful alternative rock bands of their era
and they return to Australia and NZ for the first time since 2018 playing their iconic album Laid in its entirety plus a career-spanning set featuring greatest hits and deep
cuts.
The highly influential English band formed in Manchester in 1982. Known for frontman Tim Booth’s enigmatic vocals, introspective lyrics, and a spirit of genre
experimentation, were leaders of the ‘’Madchester’’ scene! They achieved massive UK success with anthems like ‘Sit Down.’ ‘Getting Away With It (All Messed Up)’ and the US college-radio hit ‘Laid’. The band celebrated their 40th anniversary in 2023 and released their 18th album Yummy in 2024 which reached #1 in the UK Albums Chart, their first studio album to do so. The album as described by MOJO: “after 18 LPs and over four interrupted decades at the coalface, James are still re-inventing themselves”.
The wait is nearly over, James are loading the anthems and heading back to Australia and New Zealand. Joining James are Special Guests RAZORLIGHT who are celebrating the 20th anniversary of their 5 x Platinum, self-titled album and make their first Australian appearance in 15 years!
