Chart-topping UK singer-songwriter James Arthur has announced a date in Northampton this summer, headlining ‘A Perfect Day’ at Delapré Park.

James Arthur first rose to prominence when he won the ninth series of The X Factor in 2012.

He has gone on to accrue a massive haul of hits including ‘Impossible’, ‘You’re Nobody ‘Til Someone Loves You’, ‘Sun Comes Up’, ‘Naked’, ‘Rewrite The Stars’, ‘The Power Of Love’, ‘Lasting Lover’ and ‘Train Wreck’.

His global breakthrough track, the seminal single ‘Say You Won't Let Go’, further contributed to James being one of the world’s biggest streaming artists, with over 38 million monthly listeners on Spotify alone.

James’s fifth album, ‘Bitter Sweet Love’, hit the charts earlier this month, going straight to No. 1 following four Top 10 previous album releases.

James Arthur said: “I am delighted to be playing Delapré Park as part of my summer diary for 2024.

“I look forward to performing my hits in this beautiful location and I really hope you can join me”.

Cllr Adam Brown, deputy leader for West Northamptonshire Council and cabinet member for housing, culture and leisure, said: "Music events like these are of huge value to our community, bringing together residents from all walks of life to celebrate music, arts, and culture.

A spokesperson for ‘A Perfect Day’ said: "'A Perfect Day' is a new single-day outdoor live music event presented by West Northants Council in partnership with Kilimanjaro & UK Live Ltd.

"It is taking place at one of the most beautiful public gardens in Northampton known as the historic Delapré Park.

"Bring your picnic blanket & family and get ready to enjoy the ultimate day out with music, great facilities and fine food and drink."

The concert takes place on Sunday June 16.
