Following his recent return, British singer-songwriter James Arthur has announced his fifth studio album Bitter Sweet Love, as well as a UK and European tour, set to hit Ireland in March of next year.

Arthur's last album, 2021’s It’ll All Make Sense In The End, was a lockdown project recorded at home that leant heavily on programmed beats.

The Middlesbrough-born musician's upcoming album Bitter Sweet Love, is set to be a thirteen track return to form, showcasing the impeccable songwriting quality that has defined his career.

These are the dates for the UK/EU leg of the Bitter Sweet Love world tour - can’t wait for you all to see the show ❤️ Everyone who pre-orders the album from my official store before 3PM BST this Tuesday will receive access to my EU/UK tour pre-sale!

Since winning the X Factor talent show in 2012, the ‘Say You Won't Let Go’ hitmaker has gone from strength to strength, achieving widespread success with his emotion-filled and soulful ballads.

Following the announcement of the record and release of tracks, 'Blindside' and 'A Year Ago,' Arthur is set for his UK/Ireland and European tour, which includes a run of eight arena shows.

Reflecting on his career and the upcoming release, Arthur said, “The more albums you make and the more success you have, the more the pressure tends to be upon you. But I genuinely felt like a kid again, just making music I loved, not worried about trying to please everyone.”
