Please see the Schedule page for the complete list of shows. To participate in our exclusive ticket presales, please make sure you are signed in to your JamesTaylor.com account. If you do not already have a JamesTaylor.com account, please click here to create one now.

Please remember: the ticket allotment provided to JamesTaylor.com for the fan presales is a very small number of tickets that sell out quickly — sometimes within the first 30 minutes. We apologize in advance for any frustration but our hope in offering the fan presale is that you will have advance opportunity to purchase great seats. Luckily, if you are unable to purchase tickets in presale, you will have a second chance during the public sale.


Message From James

Sometimes we suffer setbacks. And if these reversals of fortune are deeply important to us, the loss can be a source of real grief. Recovery takes time and we should allow ourselves time to grieve. But what eventually seems to help most is to take a regular moment to give thanks. To whom we give it is a big question but just go ahead on and do it. Gratitude is the way to an improved attitude, dude. Scientists tell us that it is likely, even inevitable, that there are other worlds in the cosmos which, like our own, would support life. But they are so rare and far apart that it's a long shot we'll ever be in touch... To have been born in human form and consciousness aboard this unbelievably beneficent planet is an incredible stroke of luck. Dig it...

On Wednesday, November 2, just days prior to Election Day, President Barack Obama will return to North Carolina to campaign for Hillary Clinton.

President Obama will be joined by Carolina's own, Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter James Taylor.

With more people voting in this election than any in history, North Carolinians can visit iwillvote.com/learn to ensure that they have all the information they need to vote early from October 20 through November 5, or on Election Day.
