James will be in Wolverhampton and Sheffield immediately before their joint gig with The Charlatans in December.
Shows at the Wolverhampton Civic Hall on December 7th and Sheffield’s O2 Academy on December 9th fall in line behind The Charlatans ‘One Night Only’ gig at Liverpool Echo Arena on December 10th.
“It’s always great to perform on the same stage as a band you admire and respect,” James bassist Jim Glennie said of the double billing. “This is one of those occasions. It’s a fantastic double bill, if I say so myself.”
“As the great Peter Rudge puts it, ‘One plus one plus one equals three’. Get your tickets early to avoid disappointment.”
“The Charlatans and James have the best fans in the world. Both bands have been talking for a while, hoping to get something sorted,” Tim Burgess of The Charlatans added. “We’re so pleased this is happening. It’s going to be a big day.”
