James Bay tour dates 2026

Recent tour reviews

• James Bay is a fantastic singer who gave his all in a fabulous concert at The Corn Exchange in Cambridge. There was a mix of his new songs from the 'Electric Light' album which has a raw energy and blues/rock vibe along with his famous 'Chaos And The Calm' which sent the fans wild with excitement! James seemed really happy with the reaction of the crowd and got everyone to join in with and his band and the room was filled with an awesome vibe! The stage graphics were really cool and a camera played back the audience reaction on a stage screen with what looked like fireflies in the crowd. They turned out to be phone cameras giving some magical feel to the atmosphere! He also played his version of 'Simply The Best' which he dedicated to the audience and seemed quite humbled by the audience appreciation. A genuine guy with so much talent, a must see!!

• This was our 2nd time seeing James Bay in concert. Unfortunately, the 1st concert (at Radio City in NYC) was so outstanding in every way, that this one didn't really hold a candle in comparison. On the new songs, James' voice seemed almost drowned out by the instruments/back up singers. Songs from debut album were still outstanding and I wish there had been more of them. Biggest complaint was the time: only 1 hour, 10 minutes. For the money and effort that it takes to see a live show these days, the headliner really has to go longer than that. He has more material, and frankly, his fans would be thrilled with any covers (he did a Janis Joplin cover in NYC and people went wild). So there it is. I hate to leave a bad review, but perhaps this will help make future shows a bit better for other fans.

• I guess since this is my fifth time seeing James Bay live, I’m officially a groupie :) He’s a phenomenal performer. Bay should never be passed off as just a pop/rock guy. He’s a great musician, his vocals fill the room, he’s got this natural swag and charm for days, and he always shows his audience how grateful he is for all the love and support. His new music is awesome, mixed in with all the great stuff from the first album... SO good. I can’t wait to see him again at the Greek in October!
