Fortitude Valley | James Blake<Trying Times>Tour | Fortitude Music Hall
Concerts
British musician James Blake will be holding a solo tour in Brisbane on December 1, 2026. James Blake is a British singer, songwriter, and electronic music producer whose work blends alternative pop, electronic, and soul elements. His fifth studio album, *Friends That Break Your Heart*, released in 2021, contains 12 tracks and is approximately 43 minutes long, released by Republic Records and Polydor Records. The album's theme is not breakups, but rather how to cope with separations unrelated to romantic relationships, especially the end of friendships. In an interview, James Blake mentioned that this is his most direct work to date, with more raw material and a more natural, primal emotional expression than his previous albums. The opening track, "Famous Last Words," explores the similarities between friendship and love, while "If I'm Insecure" is the only song on the album that touches on romantic love. The specific setlist and performance duration for this tour have not yet been announced; the actual performance may vary.
