Laid (with Johnny Marr)
Review: David Brown @ Even The Stars
“An outdoor orchestral show with such a challenging setlist is a risk, but one that you’d expect James to take and actively embrace confident in their ability to take most of the audience with them. There was a real sense of joy up on stage, Tim in particular totally in the moment, wandering the stage, encouraging one minute, standing in awe the next. It was a perfect way to sign off the 2023-24 round of orchestra shows.”

Review: Rachel Smith @ Manchester Evening News
“Adding a full orchestra and a gospel choir was bound to ramp up the theatrics. Set against the backdrop of Lytham Green, with its iconic windmill, and the sun setting in the background, the performance went on a journey from the band’s back catalogue, peppered with singalong classics and singles from their newly released album Yummy.”

Review: Laura Dean @ God Is In The TV Zine
“After experiencing the beauty of the band’s orchestral shows last year, we were initially unsure if and how they would translate to an outdoor setting. However, James proved their unwavering prowess once again with a headline set at Lytham Festival that was utterly sublime. Their versatility shone brightly as they delivered another performance of unparalleled beauty.”

Review: Natalie Royle @ Louder Than War
“After attending last years orchestral tour and experiencing the stillness and emotion created in the intimate venues, I was concerned about how this would translate in an outdoor festival atmosphere and also how good the sound quality would be. I needn’t have worried. The sound quality is perfect, the visuals more stunning than I could have ever imagined, and the whole performance feels just as intimate and special as any show I’ve seen previously. It’s majestic and all consuming, the energy and spontaneity that James bring to their performances unlike anything I’ve witnessed with any other act and I feel very grateful to be here tonight to witness it.”

Review: Ric Brook @ RGM
“Its now time for the encore that isn’t as it would take a lot of time for everyone to leave and return and typically James they’ll already be overrunning. Sit Down “starts” it off, suppose there’d be a riot if it didn’t appear at some point and the crowd duly sing along. Beautiful Beaches makes an apt appearance given the venue tonight and the night is finished with the glorious and true James anthem Getting Away With it (All Messed Up).”

Review: David Brown @ Even The Stars
“Then they’re gone. Band embrace choir, choir embrace orchestra, orchestra embrace band, but in truth those barriers were well and truly broken down early in this journey. The group that came together in Brighton back in April have been on a journey to become one entity – the relationships and the music has evolved so much simply by them being on stage. Whilst there’s a sadness that this might be the last time we see James this way, the overwhelming feeling is of euphoria that they made good on their promises to do this again after 2011, and that this time it exceeded even their and our wildest dreams.”

Review: Laura Dean @ God Is In The TV Zine
“The addition of the orchestra intensified the emotions and feelings that came with ‘Tomorrow’, which saw Tim visit the stalls, balancing on a seat a few rows in and interacting with the lucky fans around him. The penultimate track of the evening was ‘Sometimes’ – one of the band’s biggest crowd pleasers that never fails to connect the band and their fans. Visibly moved by the response, Tim held the microphone out as the crowd kept the track going long after it had ended and it was both a powerful and uplifting moment for everybody involved. The evening came to an end with a slow-starting ‘Laid’, which burst into the anthemic version that we all know and love, offering a perfect end not just to the evening, but to the orchestral tour as a whole.”

“There’s a magic whenever James take the stage, an unpredictability about what you’re going to get even if the setlist doesn’t spring any surprises. They’re a band that thrive on the mood, both in the band and in the room, and this collaboration has effectively fused an orchestra and choir that have wholeheartedly bought into the band’s ethos on to the already hefty nine of them. These shows may never happen again, it’s twelve years since the first orchestral tour, and 2024 sees a new album and the campaign that comes with it out in the world and James continuing to look forward as a band to their next twist and turn, but they’ll live long in the memory.”

Review: David Brown @ Even The Stars
“Sit Down is taken away from the band by the crowd and made their own and if Tim hadn’t stopped them they’d probably still be singing it now. It can be a cliche with audience singalongs but not when it’s this spontaneous. As if almost to prove a point the crowd don’t pick up Sometimes at the end so it comes to a slightly abrupt stop. It probably affords them an extra song as they quickly decide to ditch the encore ritual and finish with Come Home and Getting Away With It (All Messed Up), chosen off the hoof from a list of possibilities that means there’s a few moans about the exclusion of Laid. But this is James, you don’t get everything you expect or want every time, but you are pretty much guaranteed a joyous occasion, plenty of unique moments and a band that is thriving now as a unit more than they’ve ever done, reviving old songs and giving them new life and magic, throwing in the odd curveballs and never neglecting their most recent work.”

Review: Mark Savage @ BBC Entertainment
“The highlight is Sometimes, which ends with a long, lingering chorus that alternates between the choir and the crowd. The band line up at the front of the stage to take it in, clearly moved at the response.”

Review: Nick Linazasoro @ Brighton And Hove News
“We kicked off the final ‘Latitude’ day at the main Obelisk Arena. However, traffic to the festival was backed up a few miles, whereas it hadn’t been the past two days and so time was ticking and by the time we arrived on site we could hear on the wind at 12 noon that today’s openers, James, had started to perform their ‘Sit Down’ anthem. I was surprised exactly how far the sound was carrying. We quickened our pace, but as it’s such a large site that it took us several numbers to arrive near the front of the stage. ‘Dust Motes’, ‘The Lake’, ‘The Shining’ and ‘Tomorrow’ came and went.”
