James Bay announced the new tour as well as his new album via a post on the official Instagram page on July 19, 2024:
"I’m very happy to announce that my fourth album ‘Changes All The Time’ will be out on 20th September! I really felt some true musical freedom making this music. With the help of my co producer @gabesimonsays I found the courage to make what I wanted to make in ways I never have before."
The singer continued:
"I’m also going on tour again next February! I haven’t toured the UK or Ireland since the end of 2022, I’m so excited to get back out there. I also can’t wait for my first UK arena headline show at Wembley arena. That’s a big dream come true!"
