James Arthur

The multi-platinum singer-songwriter behind global anthems Say You Won’t Let Go and Impossible – last performed at the iconic Yorkshire coast venue in 2018.

Fans can expect another unforgettable night featuring both classic hits and exciting new material when he returns on Friday 3rd July 2026.

James Arthur burst onto the music scene in 2012 as the winner of ITV’s The X Factor and has since cemented his status as one of the UK’s most successful male solo artists.

The Middlesbrough-born singer-songwriter has amassed more than 15 billion streams worldwide, sold out arenas, and earned the prestigious 2023 BRIT Billion Award for surpassing one billion UK streams.

James has recently unveiled a completely new side of himself following a personal journey of growth and self-acceptance, inspiring some of his most heartfelt music to date on his Top 3 album, Pisces, released earlier this year.

Following 2024’s chart-topping Bitter Sweet Love and a sold-out UK and Ireland arena tour, Pisces is a deeply personal album exploring human connection, shaped by James’ experiences as a father, partner, and friend. Drawing on pop, rock, Americana, and indie influences, standout tracks like Friends – a moving tribute to the late Matthew Perry – reveal James at his most vulnerable and authentic.

Across six Top 10 albums, James has built a catalogue of fan favourites and global hits, including You’re Nobody ‘Til Somebody Loves You, Cars Outside, Can I Be Him, and Rewrite The Stars (ft. Anne-Marie) from the box office hit The Greatest Showman, which achieved 5 × BRIT Platinum status.
