For the very first time, James will perform in Galway taking to the stage at the Heineken Big Top during the Galway International Arts Festival 2026.
Few bands have sustained a career as rich, fearless and celebratory as James. For over four decades, the Manchester legends have created the anthems that have defined generations, from the euphoric Sit Down and the ecstatic Laid to soaring classics like Come Home, She’s A Star and Born of Frustration. Their songs - poetic, spiritual and joyously alive - have soundtracked countless moments of collective release.
