James Arthur will perform at Bergenfest 2024 Friday, June 14! 

Capturing the British X Factor title in 2012 with "Impossible," a track written and recorded by Norwegian Ina Wroldsen, the then 24-year-old James Arthur, swiftly rose to international acclaim. Since then, he has become one of the world's most streamed artists, with over 38 million monthly listeners on Spotify and ranking as the #90 most streamed artist globally. His 2016 hit "Say You Won't Let Go" marked his international breakthrough, amassing over 4 billion streams to date, while its official music video has garnered 1.5 billion views on YouTube. His other major hits include "Impossible," "Can I Be Him," "Sun Comes Up," "Naked," "Empty Space," "Rewrite The Stars," "Falling Like the Stars," "Train Wreck," and "Lasting Lover," all of which are certified platinum records. His latest track, "Cars Outside," is quickly becoming another global hit. 

Throughout his decade-long career, James Arthur has released four studio albums, sold 16 billion units and held countless sold-out concerts at some of the most iconic venues worldwide. He is currently making waves with his single "Blindside," and in early 2024, he will release his fifth album, "Bitter Sweet Love." James is also announcing his return to the stage with a major UK and European tour, beginning in the UK in March 2024 with eight large arena shows, including a performance at London's Wembley OVO Arena on March 16th, 2024, and to our great delight, Bergenfest 2024!
