James Bay: I only recently attended my first stadium gig

James Bay had never seen a stadium gig before recently watching Beyonce.
The chart-topping singer has revealed that despite being one of the most popular musicians in the world, he only recently attended a gig in a stadium venue – and he loved it.
He confessed: "I went to my first stadium gig the other night and I saw Queen B. It was dreamy, the whole experience. I’m a big fan.
"I had never seen a show in a stadium before. It’s massive and it’s an absolutely amazing thing. Especially when it’s someone like her!"
Meanwhile, the 25-year-old star admitted he is relishing touring with his album ‘Chaos and the Calm’ and does not want the experience to stop anytime soon.
He told BBC Radio 1: "We do a lot of touring, I’m slightly worried… I’ve been lucky that this campaign, the amount I have been able tour with this album…it has gone on and on.
"It’s gonna go on till at least till October, like a whole American tour to do as well."
However, James admitted there are some perils involved with moving from city to city in such a short timeframe, recalling one particular moment of embarrassment.
He shared: "I just about saved my own bacon when I said in Glasgow … in Edinburgh, I’m almost doing it again!
"I went, ‘Hello Gla-Edinburgh’ and the whole crowd just kinda cheered, except people in the front who were like ‘booooo’ – they totally spotted it."
Meanwhile, James also revealed he is excited by the prospect of making new music, even though it will mean he won’t be on the road for a period of time.
He explained: "I’m so excited to get stuck into new music. And suddenly terrified at the thought of not touring anymore."
