The “preliminary” label is used as the tour doesn’t really start until June and the set was abbreviated to fit into the festival schedule.

It was still a chance to see some of the stunning new visuals that the band will be using for the upcoming trek and to get a preview of two songs from their new album, Electric (Axis, The Last to Die).

The abbreviated set list:

I could go to a James Taylor show just for the stories. The man is a part of music history and is still around to tell the tales of how it all began. Like, for instance, being the first artist signed to Apple Records. James “auditioned” for Apple with his song ‘Something In The Way She Moves’. "Paul went away and started the label and George went away and wrote the song”, he said.
