James are proud to announce Nothing But Love - The Definitive Best Of, due for release on 21 November via UMR, available to pre-order here.
The release is a comprehensive and career spanning collection, documenting the band’s journey from their early singles through to fan favourites and special selections made by the band themselves. Nothing But Love will also include two new tracks, Wake Up Superman and Hallelujah Anyhow, produced by Leo Abrahams, who worked with the band on their #1 album Yummy in 2024.
Formats available include a 3CD deluxe, taking fans on a chronological journey from the very beginning of the band’s career up until the present day and includes a booklet with exclusive track commentary from band members. This set also features the original Sit Down (Rough Trade Version) available for the first time on DSPs and available to buy for the first time in 35 years.
The 5LP vinyl set - including tracks from Yummy - is housed in a rigid slipcase with accompanying booklet and 14 tracks and versions being made available on vinyl for the first time ever. The 2LP colour set is a “highlights” selection of tracks.
James have also announced their biggest ever arena tour, to take place in 2026. The tour dates include Birmingham Utilita Arena, Leeds First Direct Bank Arena, Aberdeen P&J Live, Glasgow OVO Hydro, Liverpool M&S Bank Arena and The O2, culminating at the 20,000 capacity Co-op Live in Manchester. The band will be joined by special guests, Doves.

The band had their busiest ever Summer for live shows in 2025 which included a concert on the streets of Penamacor, Portugal where they played to over 20,000 fans. They are currently touring North America, performing their classic 1993 album Laid and play dates in South America later this year.
Rob Wicks, Managing Director at P&J Live, said: “James are a favourite in Aberdeen, and as their decades of hits culminate into this definitive best of tour, we know this is going to be an unmissable show. With special support from The Doves, this is going to be a night to remember and an absolute treat for fans.”
