On Monday (May 5), James announced the dates and details of their 2025 North American tour, where the Manchester rock band will perform their beloved 1993 album, Laid, in its entirety for the first time ever. The 20-date trek marks their first full North American headline tour in 15 years, and it kicks off on September 3rd in Atlanta, including stops in Nashville, Brooklyn, Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Seattle, before finishing October 5 in Vancouver. The general on-sale begins on Friday, May 9th, with an artist pre-sale starting Wednesday, May 7th. “So looking forward to returning to North America,” vocalist Tim Booth said in a statement. “This time the album Laid will be the centrepiece of the set lists with the addition of deep cuts and favorites. Catch us before the end of the world and soak in the uplift of our nine piece love bomb.” James has also lined up a series of spring and summer European festival dates before their North American tour.
