Final tickets are available now from ticketmaster.co.uk

With an ever-growing fanbase Ben Ellis is one of the UK’s most exciting new artists.

Ben’s catalogue speaks for itself, with more than 2.1 million streams, a total of 19 weeks on BBC Radio Wales’s Welsh A List, and multiple BBC Radio 1 plays.

His relationship with fans is unique, having created a community that see him as a friend not just an artist. Ben is also proud to be a Welsh artist and has worked with BBC Radio 1 presenters Sam & Danni to champion homegrown talent.

James Arthur, whose hits include global anthems Say You Won’t Let Go and Impossible, burst onto the music scene in 2012 as the winner of ITV’s The X Factor and has since cemented his status as one of the UK’s most successful male solo artists – with more than 15billion streams worldwide, and six top 10 albums.

Last year he unveiled a new side of himself in the Top 3 album Pisces, following a personal journey of growth and self-acceptance, inspiring some of his most heartfelt music to date – shaped by James’ experiences as a father, partner and friend.

Also appearing, as special guest to the Impossible singer, will be Nottingham-based, Nigeria-born performer JERUB who has sold out headline tours and supported artists across the UK and Europe, while his standout appearances on TV include opening the King’s Coronation Concert on BBC1 with Pete Tong’s Heritage Orchestra, Children In Need, Comic Relief, and the D-Day commemorations in 2024.

Last month, his single Kumbaya made history as the first Number 1 on the new Official UK Christian and Gospel Singles Chart, with his latest track Stay released last week.

James Arthur is part of a record summer line-up for TK Maxx presents Live at The Piece Hall featuring the likes of The Beach Boys, Amy MacDonald, Ethel Cain, CMAT, Alex James’ Britpop Classical, Scissor Sisters and many more.
