James Arthur has announced a run of UK and Ireland tour dates, including a gig at Co-op Live. The Manchester gig is one of eleven dates he has confirmed. He will also headline at Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena.
The singer-songwriter will return to the stage in 2026 following the release of his upcoming album, PISCES, due on April 25, 2025. His tour will kick off in Nottingham before making stops across major cities, concluding with a headline show in Manchester. Tickets go on sale at 09:00 GMT on Friday, March 21, 2025.
Arthur’s latest single, Karaoke, is out now and follows Celebrate as another glimpse into his new record. Featuring a grunge-influenced guitar riff, the song contrasts its title by delving into emotional turbulence. Arthur describes it as an exploration of love and desire within a fractured relationship, singing: “I want you dancing on the table, want you making a scene / I want you acting like a nightmare while you look like a dream.”
The track signals a new direction for Arthur as he blends rock influences with his signature vocal intensity. Speaking about the upcoming tour, he said: “I had the best time I’ve ever had on the Bitter Sweet Love world tour last year so I couldn’t be more thrilled to be hitting the road once again for the PISCES world tour. I hope to see some familiar faces back again and hopefully some new ones. Can’t wait to get in my feels with you all and have a big old sing song in some gargantuan rooms. See you on the road!”
