James at Cannock Chase Forest

About James

An unstoppable force since they formed in the 1980s, James achieved their first UK number one earlier this year with eighteenth studio album 'Yummy'. 

Alongside cuts from the acclaimed new record, fans can look forward to belting out James classics like ‘Come Home’, ‘Sit Down’, ‘Sometimes’, ‘She’s A Star’, ‘Born Of Frustration’ and ‘Laid’ amongst the trees this summer as the band play through their back catalogue of euphoric anthems.

James will be supported at Cannock Chase Forest by English indie rock band Razorlight and Jamie Webster.
