Gavin James to play Bulmers Live at Leopardstown this summer

Dublin musician Gavin James has been announced as a special guest at the Bulmers Secret Orchard Live at Leopardstown festival this summer. He will be playing on July 7th at 9pm, following a full day of racing.

James is joining the festival lineup alongside The Lightening Seeds on June 16th and Razorlight on July 21st, who form three of the four live show dates of the summer. The final act, set to play on July 14th, has yet to be announced.

"Bulmers Secret Orchard Live at Leopardstown has a reputation for bringing the best International and Irish acts to the stage and we are delighted to welcome Gavin to Leopardstown," said Tim Husbands, CEO of Leopardstown Racecourse.

One of the leading players in the Irish singer-songwriter scene, James has made a name for himself by blending the sounds of modern pop with introspective, emotional lyricism. Named the Spotify Spotlight Artist of 2016, the singer has garnered 1.5 billion total streams, 6 million monthly listeners and 32 platinum and gold records across the globe — as well as played alongside fellow music heavy-weights the likes of Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran and Niall Horan.

Now, James is set to embark on a tour with his upcoming album The Sweetest Part, following a sold-out run in 2020. He will be playing a string of Irish dates this fall, beginning with a show at the Millennium Forum in Derry on the 25th of September.

Gavin James will be performing at the Leopardstown Racecourse on July 7th at 9pm. Tickets are priced at €25 for a day of racing and the concert, and are available to purchase, here.
