Former X Factor winner James Arthur has been announced as The Wyldes' latest headliner to join the festival line-up next year.
Off the back of a sell-out arena tour in 2023, James Arthur has just announced new tour dates for 2024, including a debut performance at The Wyldes in North Cornwall on Sunday, June 2024.
The Middlesbrough-born singer-songwriter James was catapulted to fame in 2012 when he won the popular singing talent contest the X Factor. Following this, James has had multiple chart-topping hits, including two number ones with ‘Impossible’ and ‘Say You Won’t Let Go’, and a number-one album with his 2016 release ‘Back from the Edge’.
His latest album ‘Bitter Sweet Love’ is due to be released in January. With four studio albums under his belt and a fifth in the making, James has achieved record streaming numbers and numerous platinum records, as well as collaborating with some of the biggest names in pop including Anne-Marie, Rudimental, Sigala and Marshmello.
The making of his upcoming album has offered James the space to reflect on a decade-long career in the limelight and promises to ‘pack a punch’ of emotion for the dedicated crowds who sing along with him at every show.
A spokesperson from The Wyldes said: “It’s amazing news that James will be heading here in June.
“We have been following his success from the beginning and anticipate great things from the upcoming album. With his show the night after Jess Glynne, and with both artists releasing new music in the new year, we think this will be a massive weekend for the pop fans among our audiences.”
