The tour kicks off in spring 2025
Next spring, James Bay will return to the road in North America for his much-anticipated Up All Night Tour. It marks his first full-scale U.S. headline run since 2023. This jaunt kicks off on April 21st at First Avenue in Minneapolis, rolls through major markets coast-to-coast, and concludes on May 28th at MTELUS in Montreal, QC. Of course, the tour notably shares its moniker with his fan favorite 2024 single, “Up All Night” with The Lumineers and Noah Kahan. This month, the latter has impressively surged at radio, catapulting to No. 1 on the Billboard Adult Alternative Airplay Chart as Bay’s first-ever radio No. 1 in the States.
The Up All Night Tour will be his first run supporting his acclaimed fourth full-length album, Changes All The Time.
These eleven tracks embody the apex of Bay’s output as a generational songwriter and a deft and dynamic guitarist with a distinct voice of his own. The lead single and album opener “Up All Night” with The Lumineers and Noah Kahan arrived to critical acclaim upon its release, quickly becoming a fan favorite. The single recently climbed to No. 1 on the Billboard Adult Alternative Airplay Chart, marking his first No. 1 at the format. It has also amassed over 30 million global streams.
Changes All The Time spotlights Bay’s elevated songcraft, dynamic vocals, and fret-burning guitar playing, highlighting his evolution from every angle. This time around, he crafted these eleven tracks under the watch of producer Gabe Simon [Noah Kahan, Koe Wetzel, Maren Morris] alongside co-writers such as Brandon Flowers of The Killers, Holly Humberstone, Dan Wilson of Semisonic, Natalie Hemby of The Highwomen, and Kevin Garrett.
Among many standouts on the album, “Hope” brims with optimism against all odds. Delicate acoustic guitar, strains of piano, and steady handclaps underline a central mantra to “Have a little hope.” His delivery alternates between soulful and soaring, inspiring at every turn.
Last month, Bay released “Easy Distraction,” which he co-wrote with Brandon Flowers of The Killers.
