James Bay

So happy I finally got to see a James Bay live in Atlanta. Great performance. He was engaging with the audience, and you could tell he loved that so many people knew the words to his songs. He changed guitars with every song. His guitar solo was intense. His encore performance was well received. The audience kept wanting more. Looking forward to his next concert in Atlanta!

Absolutely phenomenal. He sounds as good, if not better, in person as he does in recordings. The energy is incredible and he engages the crowd so much. He someone seems to make eye contact with everyone and it just magnified the experience. Will absolutely see him again if we have the opportunity. The venue was great and the crowd was very diverse.

I loved seeing James Bay perform at the Riviera Theater in Chicago! He played so many of his well known songs as well as a few new ones. The theater was a great size, not too big. We all had a blast singing along with James! I hope he makes this a regular spot on his future tours. Thanks to everyone who made this show happen! (2023)

The James Bay concert at the Riviera Theatre in Chicago on Sunday, 8/27 was outstanding!! As a big fan of classic rock and blues, I saw James Bay for the 1st time in 2019 at Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival in Dallas. I was so impressed that I immediately became a big fan of James Bay and listened to everything he has ever recorded and developed a playlist around his music. Last year, I was able to see him live as an opening act for the Lumineers at Wrigley Field. The night before the Riviera Theatre show, we saw him open for the Lumineers in Milwaukee but really looked forward to seeing him as a headliner. He absolutely did not disappoint!! James Bay is a fantastic live performer and his show at the Riviera Theatre made that very clear. As good as his music is on recordings, in live performances he accentuates his guitar playing even more. The perfect example of this is his live performance of “When We Were on Fire” with its extended solos—fantastic!!! I would love to see James Bay release a live album so that fans who haven’t had the opportunity to see him perform live could hear what I have been fortunate enough to witness live.

Absolutely love James Bay and last year saw him at House of Blues with no band. This time I was very excited to see him with his band. He was excellent and I would only say I wish he sang a few more songs. House of Blues was great! No long line at the bars and clean bathrooms and everywhere in there has a really good view!

The event was great, James Bay is just amazing as an artist a person and I loved it all. I am very happy that I had a chance to be there, and will be there again if he comes - hope rather soon :) The venue was also very good, just could have been some more ventillation, it was extremely warm.

Ich habe meine Schwester zum Konzert begleitet. Sie ist der eigentliche Fan. Ich hatte mich auf ein Konzert mit Schmuserock-Musik eingestellt und war dann sehr positiv überrascht, dass richtig kerniger Bluesrock gespielt wurde. Vor allem die Gitarrenpassagen haben mich schwer begeistert! Und singen kann er auch! Es war super!

One of the best concerts I have been to in the last year. I have been a fan of this artist since he released the first album and had never been able to attend any of his concerts. And he did not disappoint. The strength he transmits on stage, the connection that is created between the artist and the audience.... The atmosphere in the venue throughout the show was a real gift that you don't get every day. I would repeat the experience without a second's hesitation and I recommend everyone, whenever possible, to take the opportunity to see him and feel what we felt last night.

James Bay gave a lively enjoyable concert. He played songs that introduced him to me all the way to his newest music. He even celebrated his birthday with us. His opening act was talented and a joy to listen to. The venue was small enough to feel intimate but spacious enough that it didn't feel crowded. I look forward to seeing him in concert again and I hope to see other acts at the Majestic.

As always, he was amazing. He was amazing in Charlotte raw and acoustic. He was amazing polished and refined in DPAC. And last night, he was over and above, raw and heavy for the 9:30 club. He is a great artist.

Absolutely unreal performance. James Bay showed up with just his guitar after being stranded in Philly with a broken down tour bus for 11 hours. Despite not having a band he delivered a superb performance that demonstrated the talent that got him a record deal in the first place. An unforgettable night and I will be seeing him the next time he comes to Boston.

James Bay was excellent! Very creative artist that writes his own songs. Pours himself into performing and getting the audience engaged. Great location for an intimate up close show! Venue was small with personal seats in various balconies available to purchase. Loved it !!!

James Bay is such a beautiful singer and soul his music touches your heart I was so excited to see him his live performances was absolutely amazing of course I have already booked to see him again his new alban is all I'm listening too at the moment every word in his songs everybody can relate too. Keep producing you're amazing songs James.

Absolutely phenomenal gig. The venue was awesome and James Bay was absolutely outstanding! Amazing blend of old and new material, set design was amazing and production value incredible. One of the best gigs Ive been to this year and I was 100% see James again

First time attending a concert at this venue and now think this is my favourite in Glasgow. Only a 10 minute walk from High Street train station and you are surrounded by cool bars, cafes and restaurants, perfect for pre gig refreshments. Inside the venue is stunning and really wonder why more artists don't choose to perform here. Sound and lighting were amazing and really made for a wonderful night.

How can we rate the gig or performance which was cancelled the day before the exact date of the concert ? You haven’t known that it was already cancelled ? It’s really weird we received the email to rate the cancelled gig from the event organizer. Please understand where we’re coming from now. We’re so depressed cuz it was suddenly cancelled !!

This evening was once again an epic and fantastic music show. James and his band showed how ever again that they are great artists in music and song. They rocked the hall madly!!! Always a feast for the eyes and ears 👍👌😍😍😍

Great concert! Having Noah Kahan there also, made my son’s night!! James was a little overpowered by the bass at the beginning which was a surprise because he has incredible range and tone. It got better and his solo was awesome. We would definitely love to see him again. Please come to the Wilson Center in Wilmington!!

James Bay Never disappoints! My 2nd show after seeing him 2 years ago. The energy, charisma and buckets of talent from him and his carefully chosen band members. Lily Moore the support artist was a wonderful young girl with a great soulful voice. As for the venue, I've never been to the Corn Exchange before and I was really impressed! Had such a great night all in all. James played most of his new album Electric light but also the old favourites which still bring me goosebumps. 10/10 Here's to the next time!

Although happy to have been there to witness the start of Electric Light Tour- I have definitely seen better James Bay shows. I remember the times where his voice and his sound was the main thing and the backup singers were just that: backup singers. So the general sound wasn’t at its best but nevertheless- he still managed to deliver a pretty amazing show.
