Viral sensation and Britain’s favourite school teacher James B Partridge is heading back on the road this September following extraordinary demand for his sell-out Primary School Bangers Tour.
After a hugely successful spring run that had audiences singing at the tops of their voices in theatres and concert halls across the UK. James is returning for an encore with brand-new dates at venues including Newport Riverfront Theatre, St Albans Arena, Poole Lighthouse and Leeds City Varieties.
The Primary School Bangers Tour has become a nationwide celebration of the songs that soundtracked our school days. The ones sung in assembly halls up and down the country. From mass singalongs to heart-on-sleeve nostalgia.
The show taps into a shared experience that unites generations. All are delivered with James’s warmth, humour and unmistakable feel-good energy.
James’s remarkable rise has continued throughout 2026. Following a hugely successful spring tour, he made one of the surprise festival appearances of the summer at Download Festival. Drawing more than 15,000 rock and metal fans into his packed tent for a joyous mass singalong of classic primary school assembly songs.
Proving that the power of nostalgia knows no musical boundaries, the unforgettable set became one of the weekend’s standout talking points.
What began as a handful of playful performances for his pupils has grown into a genuine national phenomenon. From viral social media fame to a field-closing Glastonbury set and now a triumphant Download Festival appearance.
James B Partridge has become the UK’s most beloved musical nostalgia act, all while continuing to teach primary school children during the week.
This isn’t just a tour, it’s a collective singalong, decades in the making.
