Posted on: 04 Sep 2023

Prepare to be serenaded by the dulcet tones of singer-songwriter James Blunt as he graces the Bristol Beacon in March of next year. This event promises to be a melodic journey through his illustrious career and an exciting glimpse into his upcoming album.

James Blunt, a name that needs no introduction, has captivated audiences for nearly two decades with his heartfelt music and candid sense of humor. You may remember his chart-topping hit 'You're Beautiful', but that's just one gem in his musical treasure trove. With two Brit Awards, two Ivor Novello Awards, and five Grammy nominations, James Blunt has solidified his place in the music industry.

But James is more than just a musical sensation; he's also an internet sensation. His delightfully self-aware Twitter account has garnered him quite the following, and his online presence is as charming as his music.

Speaking of music, James is making a triumphant return with his upcoming album, 'Who We Used To Be,' set to release this autumn on Atlantic Records. The album's lead single, 'Beside You,' is a bright and breezy uptempo rocker that exudes a feel-good summer vibe. James describes it as a celebration of finding that special someone you've been searching for your whole life.

'Who We Used To Be' has been in the making with the help of The Six, a Manchester collective known for their work with artists like Clean Bandit, Marshmello, and James Arthur. This album marks James' first studio release since the acclaimed 'Once Upon A Mind' in 2019. For this project, he has collaborated with various producers, including Jonny Coffer, Red Triangle, Jack & Coke, and Steve Robson.

So, if you're a fan of James Blunt's timeless hits or looking forward to his latest musical creation, mark your calendar for Sunday 31st March 2024 at the Bristol Beacon. It's bound to be a night filled with incredible music and the magnetic charm of James Blunt himself. Get your tickets ahead of time here.
