Viral sensation and Britain’s ‘favourite school teacher’ James B Partridge will bring his hugely popular Primary School Bangers tour to Crawley next year.

Following an extraordinary year of sell-out shows, nationwide demand and a summer packed with major performances, James will bring his feel-good celebration of the songs that soundtracked our school days to 15 more venues across the UK next April and May – including Crawley Hawth on May 21, 2027.

From mass singalongs to heart-on-sleeve nostalgia, Primary School Bangers has become one of the UK's most feel-good live experiences, bringing generations together to rediscover the songs we all remember from our school assembly days.

Expect uplifting classics, full-voiced communal singing, plenty of laughs and the pure joy of discovering that, somehow, you still know every word.

The new dates follow an incredible 2026 for James, whose Primary School Bangers tour has continued to grow from strength to strength, with multiple runs of shows added in response to phenomenal demand.

What began as a handful of playful performances for his pupils has developed into a genuine national phenomenon, taking James from viral social media sensation to some of the UK's biggest stages – including a field-closing Glastonbury performance featured in the BBC's festival highlights.

And there’s no slowing down as James prepares to round off the year with THE BIG CHRISTMAS ASSEMBLY, which gets underway later this month with a major nationwide run of festive shows.

Following the huge success of the 2025 tour, the 2026 production will bring together Christmas favourites, primary school memories and the unmistakable warmth and humour that have made James such a popular live performer. With dates spanning November and December, it's set to be another festive celebration of nostalgic singalongs.

Alongside his live success, James has become a familiar face and voice across the airwaves and on television, with appearances on Chris Evans' Virgin Radio Breakfast Show, BBC Radio 2, The One Show and Songs of Praise: The Big School Assembly Singalong – all this while continuing to teach primary school children during the week.

The Primary School Bangers 2027 tour promises another opportunity to relive the songs, memories and magic of our school days.
