James Bay Books Fall U.S. Tour

The 24-year-old just wrapped up a run of U.S./Canada dates with Saturday’s appearance at City Of Trees Music Festival in Elverta, Calif. Next up he’ll play a number of European fests including Netherlands’ Campingflight to Lowlands Paradise, England’s V Festival and Lollapalooza Berlin. After taking the stage at Las Vegas’ iHeartRadio Daytime Village Sept. 19, Bay headlines more than a dozen dates in the U.K. and Ireland this fall.

Bay is continuing to support his debut, Chaos and the Calm, which was released in March via Republic Records. The album debuted at No. 1 in over 20 countries and has sold over one million copies worldwide.

Earlier this year The BRIT Awards bestowed him with the “Critics’ Choice Award,” which was previously given to acts like Adele and Florence + The Machine.

Now Bay is up for “Artist to Watch” at the MTV Video Music Awards, thanks to the song “Hold Back the River.” Voting is open through Aug. 30 at 6 p.m. EDT.
