Thursday 12 June
James will kick off Plymouth Summer Sessions with a set full of energy, anthemic melodies, and fan favourites like “Sit Down”, “Come Home”, and “Laid”. With four decades of music and 25 million albums sold under their belts, James have carved out a unique place in British music history, known for their profound lyrics, and a catalogue that continues to resonate with fans new and old. This year’s top album, ‘Yummy’, is among their best—tackling U.S. politics, AI, and conspiracy theories, all while confronting mortality with resilience and a drive for love in a chaotic world. Supporting James will be Razorlight with their indie rock hits, the ‘people’s poet’ Jamie Webster, and rising star Tom A Smith’s fresh sound, all coming together for a memorable start to the weekend.
Friday 13 June
Pendulum, one of the most iconic electronic acts in history, will be performing at Plymouth Hoe on Friday, 13 June. Since the release of critically acclaimed debut album ‘Hold Your Colour’ in 2005, which included massive hits like “Slam” and “Blood Sugar,” Pendulum has gained recognition for live shows which blend an eclectic combination of captivating visual effects and high-octane drum and bass rock. The band achieved significant success with their platinum-selling album ‘Immersion’ in 2010, which included chart-topping singles like “Watercolour.” With a headline UK arena tour earlier this year, Pendulum made a triumphant comeback in 2024, and they are set to continue that momentum with next summer’s performance at Plymouth Summer Sessions.
Sunday 15 June
Closing out the festival on Sunday, 15 June, Snow Patrol will bring a powerful mix of fan favourites like “Chasing Cars” and “Run” alongside fresh tracks from their No.1 latest album, ‘The Forest is the Path’. Known for honest lyrics and big, emotional sound, Snow Patrol’s live shows balance anthemic energy with reflective moments, drawing audiences in with every song. With both classic hits and new material, they promise an unforgettable finish to the weekend.
