Legendary singer-songwriter and multiple Grammy award winner, James Taylor & His All-Star Band, who last toured the UK in 2018, have announced that their impending a seven date UK tour has had to be moved back to later in the year.
They were due to be opening on 27th January 2022 at Leeds First Direct Arena and then journeying onto Manchester and Glasgow, before appearing here in our city at the Brighton Centre on Tuesday 1st February. From there they were to head off to Birmingham and then finally appear for two nights on 4th and 5th February at Hammersmith Eventim Apollo.
The statement reads:
“James is disappointed to announce that his upcoming European tour, previously set to begin in January 2022, has been re-scheduled due to concerns about COVID-19.
Previously purchased tickets will be honoured for all new concert dates and fans are encouraged to hold onto their tickets.
We greatly appreciate your patience”.
The Brighton concert has therefore been moved to Thursday 13th October 2022. Tickets are still available and you can purchase your Brighton Centre concert tickets HERE.
