Following their critically acclaimed run of shows with Johnny Marr last year, the iconic British band James has announced that, this fall, they will be returning to North America for their first full headline tour in more than 15 years. Each show is set to open with a performance of the group’s 1993 album Laid, in its entirety, before a second set of hits, rarities, and fan favorites.
The tour will begin in Atlanta on Sept. 3 and features stops in New York, Toronto, Los Angeles, and other great cities. There is a Chicago performance taking place on Sept. 20 at Riot Fest and the tour will conclude on Oct. 5 in Vancouver. Tickets are on sale now.
“So looking forward to returning to North America,” said vocalist Tim Booth in a statement. “This time the album Laid will be the centrepiece of the set lists with the addition of deep cuts and favorites. Catch us before the end of the world and soak in the uplift of our nine piece love bomb.”
