Legendary Manchester band James are returning to Cardiff as part of their biggest ever arena tour in 2026. The Love Is The Answer tour will stop at the Utilita Arena Cardiff on Monday 13th April, with very special guests Doves joining them on the road.
The arena dates follow the band’s busiest live summer to date in 2025, which included a huge street concert in Penamacor, Portugal in front of 20,000 fans, a North American tour performing their classic 1993 album Laid, and upcoming South American shows later this year.
With a catalogue that includes timeless hits like Sit Down, Laid, Come Home and Getting Away With It (All Messed Up), James have built a reputation as one of Britain’s most enduring and inventive live acts.
The Love Is The Answer tour kicks off in Birmingham before heading across the UK, culminating in a huge finale at Manchester’s 20,000-capacity Co-op Live.
