News: James Morrison Announces ‘Undiscovered’ Headline Tour For 2026
2 min read
James Morrison is currently on a high having achieved his highest chart-position in 14 years with the Top 5 album ‘Fight Another Day’, which he followed with a show-stealing guest appearance on this weekend’s ‘Strictly’. But now he looks back to where it all became as he announces details of a tour to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his smash hit debut album ‘Undiscovered’.
‘Undiscovered’ was the record that changed everything for James Morrison. Back then, he was fitting carpets by day, playing open mics by night and driving up and down to London at any spare moment, taking meeting after meeting with the multiple record companies interested in signing him. Money was tight, but it barely mattered as James was fuelled by the excitement of potentially having a big future ahead of him.
And with the release of ‘Undiscovered’, that future became grander than he could have ever expected. Its singles, ‘You Give Me Something’ (#5, Platinum) and ‘Wonderful World’ (#8, Gold) both made him a constant fixture in the charts throughout the second half of 2006. The ‘Undiscovered’ album was an even bigger phenomenon, spending two weeks at #1 and an entire year in the Top 40. With over 1.5 million domestic sales, it has been certified 5 x Platinum. His three subsequent BRIT nominations resulted in him claiming 2007’s British Male Solo Artist award.
The tour will see James play ‘Undiscovered’ in its entirety. The set will take in its big hits, fan favourites ‘The Pieces Don’t Fit Anymore’ and ‘This Boy’ as well as rarely performed songs such as ‘One Last Chance’ and ‘How Come’. The shows will be rounded off with highlights from the rest of his storied career.
James says, “I can’t quite believe it’s been 20 years since Undiscovered, but I’m so looking forward to playing these shows. I still love all of those songs- they took me all around the world- so it will be great to play a lot of them live again for the first time since the album came out. We’ll also throw in the other favourites. It’s going to be a lot of fun and I look forward to seeing everyone there.”
Tickets for the tour go on sale HERE from 10am this Friday, November 14th.
