The superstar will add a Galway date and a Belfast date to his European tour this August, which will join his already announced Dublin date in March.

After seeing unprecedented demand for his recently announced Dublin date, James Arthur has announced two new Irish dates on his worldwide Bitter Sweet Love tour.

After playing a sold-out show at Dublin's 3Arena on March 3rd 2024, Arthur will be playing Custom House Square in Belfast on Tuesday, August 27th 2024, and Galway Airport on Wednesday, August 28th 2024. Tickets for the newly announced gigs will go on sale Friday, December 8th at 9 am via Ticketmaster; you can find them HERE.

The multi-platinum artist is gearing up to release his fifth album, Bitter Sweet Love, via Columbia Records on January 26th, 2024.

Additional tour dates! 🤘 It’s overwhelming to see the reaction to the Bitter Sweet Love World Tour, everything has sold out so fast so we’re putting on some additional shows and I couldn’t be happier that we are.

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.

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. 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.”
