Relive childhood memories as Primary School Assembly Bangers tour comes to Doncaster
Viral sensation and one of Britain’s favourite teachers is bringing his hit live show Primary School Bangers to Doncaster as part of his biggest ever UK tour.
Phenomenal demand has seen James B Partridge extend his biggest tour with more dates this autumn including Doncaster Cast on September 22.
The brand-new 2026 nationwide run will take the songs that defined our childhoods to some of the UK’s most iconic theatres, concert halls and festivals over the coming months, delivering huge singalongs, feel-good nostalgia and the irresistible energy that has made James a national phenomenon.
As tickets for the spring dates fly out and with another incredible summer ahead, these brand-new autumn shows have been added to meet the overwhelming appetite for one of the UK’s most joy-filled live experiences. The Primary School Bangers Tour has become a nationwide celebration of the songs that soundtracked our school days, the ones sung in assembly halls up and down the country.
From mass singalongs to heart-on-sleeve nostalgia, the show taps into a shared experience that unites generations, all delivered with James’s warmth, humour and unmistakable feel-good energy.
The tour first visits theatres and concert halls across the UK in April 2026, marking James’s most ambitious live production to date.
Audiences can expect uplifting assembly classics, full-voiced communal singing and the pure joy of rediscovering songs everyone thought they’d forgotten (but somehow still know every word to).
Fresh from the hugely successful Big Christmas Assembly Tour, which saw the majority of concert halls and theatres sell out across the UK, James’s momentum continues to build.
What began as a handful of playful performances for his pupils has grown into a genuine national phenomenon.
From viral social media fame to a field-closing Glastonbury set (featured on BBC festival highlights), James has become the UK’s most beloved musical nostalgia act, all while continuing to teach primary school children during the week. With appearances on Chris Evans’ Virgin Radio Breakfast Show, BBC Radio 2, The One Show and Songs of Praise: The Big School Assembly Singalong, James has shown that his unique blend of humour, heart and harmony resonates with audiences of every generation.
This isn’t just a tour, it’s a collective singalong, decades in the making.
The Primary School Bangers Tour comes to theatres this spring… and due to phenomenal demand, returns this September.
