James Blunt Europe Tour 2027: career and records

James Hillier Blount was born on 22 February 1974 at Tidworth Camp in Hampshire into a military family, and spent parts of his childhood in Cyprus and in Soest, Germany. His mother ran a ski chalet company in Méribel in the French Alps. He studied sociology at the University of Bristol on an army bursary and served six years in the British Army, rising to captain in the Life Guards.

In 1999 he served with NATO in Kosovo, where he wrote "No Bravery" with a guitar strapped to his tank, and he was involved in the stand-off at Pristina Airport. He later captained the Household Cavalry ski team in Verbier, Switzerland, and stood guard at the Queen Mother's coffin in 2002 before leaving the army that October.

Back to Bedlam (2004) made him a star: "You're Beautiful" reached number one in thirteen countries, and the album was the best-selling album of the 2000s in the UK. All the Lost Souls (2007), with "1973", went to number one in twelve countries. Some Kind of Trouble (2010), Moon Landing (2013), The Afterlove (2017), Once Upon a Mind (2019) and Who We Used to Be (2023) followed at intervals of about three years.

By 2021 he had sold more than 23 million albums. He has won two Brit Awards, including Best British Male in 2006, two MTV Video Music Awards and two Ivor Novello Awards, and has received five Grammy nominations. He has also opened for Elton John in 2004 and for Ed Sheeran on the ÷ Tour. Airplane Mode, his eighth album, is due on 6 November 2026.

Belgium has been loyal in other ways too: Rock Werchter twice, Palais 12 in 2022 and 2024, the Forum in Liège in September 2024, open-air nights at Dranouter and Ronquières, and an early club show at L'Orangerie in 2005. Brussels is also the first confirmed date of the 2027 leg on this page, two days after the tour opens in Luxembourg.

In 2027 Hamburg (14 March) and Berlin (20 March) are among the dates confirmed here, and the published itinerary adds Nuremberg, Hanover, Munich, Leipzig, Düsseldorf, Stuttgart, Freiburg and Mannheim.

Hamburg's Barclays Arena is a familiar room: he played it as the O2 World Hamburg in 2014, then in 2022, 2024 and February 2025. The Uber Arena in Berlin, then the O2 World, hosted him in March 2014 and again in March 2024 and February 2025.

Gothenburg is a new city in his archive, and the Royal Arena, opened in 2017, is a step up from KB Hallen in 2006 and Store Vega in 2012. Sweden had previously seen him at the Hovet, Annexet, Malmö and Linköping.

James Blunt Europe Tour 2027: Prague and Amsterdam

James Blunt Europe Tour 2027: Dublin and Ireland

The 2027 set will be built around Airplane Mode, which comes out on 6 November 2026; no set list for the new tour has been published yet.

James Blunt Europe Tour 2027 tickets and presales

Tickets for the Airplane Mode Tour have been on sale since 9 September 2026 through the official ticketing outlets of each country. Each venue's own website names its official seller, which is the safest place to start.

There is no public presale code to buy or share. Codes or "guaranteed" tickets offered on social media are not genuine; if a date sells out, use the official resale or ticket exchange available in that country rather than unofficial resale sites, where prices can be far above face value.

Several dates are on weekdays and the itinerary moves quickly between countries, so check the city and date on your ticket. The alert button on this page will tell you about extra dates or returned tickets.
