Review: David Brown @ Even The Stars

“They take their final bows from an audience who’ve been treated to one of their best sets in the last few years. The sound that had been a little off for Razorlight was crystal clear, the light show augmenting the songs and the visuals really complementing them. The new songs have the energy and weight for the arena, even in their quieter moments and the Newcastle audience are far more receptive to them than in Aberdeen and the band are clearly revelling in playing them.”

Review: Jason Button @ Newcastle World

“In reality, it is these moments we all live for. At the end of the first of two encores when Beautiful Beaches was played I simply shut my eyes, released my shoulders and danced like I was in the kitchen on my own. They are the moments fans pay money for, and those are the moments James thrive on creating.”

Review: Craig Connor @ Chronicle Live

“Fans turned out in their droves to see James at the Utilita Arena – more than forty years on from the band’s formation”

Review: Adam Kennedy @ The Northern Echo

“Indie legends James arrived on Tyneside on Wednesday night for their second North East date in a week. The group played a warm-up show for their current arena tour at The Globe in Stockton on Friday evening, and by the time the group arrived in Newcastle, not only were the band warmed up – they were absolutely on fire.”

Review: Darin Hutson @ The Southern Reporter

“He tweeted, or Xed, to fans afterwards about “how special the gig was”, adding: “I suspect we will find it hard to top on this tour. That was magic,” and that feeling was clearly mutual and deservedly so.”

Review: Music For The Misfits

“If before last night I’d only been half on the James-train, I’m certainly completely on and not getting off now!”

Review: David Brown @ Even The Stars

“The encore is as defiant as the set. Way Over Your Head is simply stunning, one of the album highlights transformed into a touching torchlight song that captures the despair of the first half of the song and then explodes into positivity as the second half lifts the song’s subject out of the hole they found themselves in to the accompaniment of multi-coloured butterflies flying around the screens. Beautiful Beaches, a hit single born in the wrong time but one which the band clearly love, ends with Debbie and Dave once again duelling drums whilst the band turn and watch them. They send the crowd out into the night with Laid, their only predictable move of the night, played straight fast and furious.”

Review: Andrew White @ The Northern Echo

“This was billed as a warm-up gig, so it was not without a few false starts and technical hitches as the final polishes were made. The crowd later learned, from the multi-talented Saul Davies, that lead singer Tim Booth had not been well and indeed had spent some time in hospital earlier that day.”

Review: David Brown @ Even The Stars

“The buzz in the room is electric as the lights go up. It’s rare for James to play a show this small these days, their June 2024 show is at the mammoth O2, 10 times the size of this. They make those arenas feel intimate, but tonight you could see the whites in their eyes, smell the intensity of the performance and revel in the fact that it could all coming crashing down in an instant. The song choice might have been more straight-forward than usual, but this band is all about the delivery of them. And that was as unpredictably unpredictable as ever.”

Review: Scott Colothan @ Hello Rayo

“Headlined by indie icons James with very special guests The Snuts, all 2,000 tickets to the event sold out within minutes of going on sale in early September.”

Originally scheduled for 13th May 2023

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.”
