Release Date 6th November 2026
James Blunt is back. The 2x Brit Award winner, 5x Grammy nominee and seller of 20m+ albums worldwide is releasing Airplane Mode, his 8th studio album, on Nov 6. Described by James as his strongest work in 20 years, the album sonically reconnects with late 90s/00s warm acoustic-pop sounds - taking inspiration from artists that first inspired him such as David Gray, Coldplay and The Verve. This has resulted in a live-sounding record - one he’s excited to take on the road next year. The album combines Blunt’s signature anthemic hooks and nostalgic storytelling. It delivers the emotional punch fans fell in love with on Back to Bedlam, while continuing his refreshed, modern pop evolution. James says, "Somewhere back there, I lost my way, but then found it again in a studio in Banbury."
