Jess Glynne Tickets

Jess Glynne made history by becoming the first British female solo artist to score seven number ones on the UK Singles Chart – among them ‘I’ll Be There’, ‘Hold My Hand’ and ‘Don’t Be So Hard on Yourself’. Her two previous Platinum selling albums have both become No.1 records and she collected three Ivor Novello nominations, won a Grammy, and racked up nine Brit Award nominations and 1.2 billion streams.

Raised in Muswell Hill, North London, Jess Glynne grew up trying to imitate artists with powerful voices like Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Etta James and Mariah Carey. In 2013 she was signed by Atlantic Records and shot to fame the following year after scoring two No.1 singles as a featured artist on My Love by Route 94 and Rather Be by Clean Bandit, which won a Grammy for Best Dance Recording.

Her first solo single, Right Here, also arrived in 2014, and peaked at No.6 in the UK singles chart. It was the lead track from her debut album, I Cry When I Laugh, released in 2015. Not only did it top the charts in the UK, but it broke into the top 10 in Australia, Ireland, Italy and the Netherlands. Plus, the album spawned two more No.1 singles with Hold My Hand and Don’t Be So Hard On Yourself.

Following surgery in late 2015 to remove a polyp on her vocal chord, Glynne took a couple years off to write music. She returned to the charts in early 2018, featuring on Rudimental’s single These Days alongside Macklemore and Dan Caplen. Later that year, her second album Always In Between came out and went straight to the No.1 spot. Four more of its tracks – I’ll Be There, Thursday, One Touch and All I Am – also topped the charts.

In addition to a Grammy, Glynne has received an O2 Silver Clef Award, A&R Award and Ivor Novello Award, as well as been nominated for BRITs, MTV EMAs and BBC Music Awards. She was named on Forbes’ Most Influential People Under 30 list in early 2019, and later that year supported the Spice Girls on their Spice World UK reunion tour.  

In summer 2020, Glynne partnered with electronic duo Snakehips on Lie For You featuring Davido and A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie. The single was accompanied by an anime-themed video set in a dystopian future, with the four artists battling to restore peace and humanity to the world.

In November 2020, Glynne released a festive cover of Donny Hathaway’s This Christmas and she also announced a series of shows at racecourses and other outdoor venues across the UK for summer 2021.

The singer-songwriter brought in fresh management and switched record label to EMI, relocating to Los Angeles for music of 2022 and honing a new, more vulnerable songwriting style with producers including Greg Kurstin (Sia, Adele), Emile Haynie (Lana Del Rey), Malay (Frank Ocean) and BOOTS (Beyonce). They added to a tight, five-member writing team: herself, long-time collaborators Knox Brown and Jin Jin, plus grime musician Wretch-32 and Grammy-nominated producer P2J (Wizkid, Stormzy) and she took songwriting inspiration from the likes of Joni Mitchell, Amy Winehouse, Prince and more.
