James Arthur announces his first ever UK arena tour with X Factor pal Ella Henderson
JAMES Arthur has announced his first ever UK arena tour.
The 29-year-old X Factor winner made a stunning comeback last year with his single Say You Won't Let Go and album, Back from the Edge.
Now James will round off his triumphant return with his first set of arena gigs which will take place all over the country.
The nine date tour will take start on November 16 in Leeds and will culminate on November 30 in Bournemouth via a stop at London's Wembley Arena.
James said: "It is unreal that I'll be doing my first UK arena tour this November!
"The last tour was the best experience and now I cannot wait to take it to the next level in arenas.
"Thanks again for the continued support and can't wait to see you there."

James first shot to fame on the 2012 series of the ITV singing competition, but after he was drawn into a number of social media arguments and had a series of public outbursts, he was dropped by Simon Cowell's Syco label.
However The Sun exclusively revealed the Middlesbrough-born star was resigned by the record company last year and James has never looked back since.
James will be supported on his tour by fellow X Factor alum Ella Henderson, who finished in sixth place in the same series as James, and has also gone on to have a number of hit records including Ghost.
