Jacob Collier | The Light for Days Tour

Beloved by audiences, musicians and critics the world over, and heralded unanimously as one of the most singular, creative and groundbreaking artists of the 21st century, the British singer, songwriter, producer, arranger, multi-instrumentalist, multi-hyphenate world-builder Jacob Collier has taken the music industry by storm since he first exploded onto the international scene a decade ago. With a depth, brilliance and imaginatory infinity that is beyond question, Jacob plays, writes and communicates with a human warmth, openness and drastic inclusivity that melts hearts, explodes minds, and inspires millions.

Jacob's radically joyous and genre-bridging discography has led to seven GRAMMY wins and 16 GRAMMY nominations, making him the first British artist in history to win at least one Grammy for each of his first 5 studio albums. His fearless approach to music has attracted a diverse plethora of 100+ legendary collaborators, including Coldplay, SZA, Shawn Mendes, John Mayer, Stormzy, Kirk Franklin, Tori Kelly, Oumou Sangaré, Daniel Caesar, Lizzy McAlpine, Ty Dolla Sign, Anoushka Shankar, Kimbra, Michael McDonald, Brandi Carlile, Steve Vai, Camilo, T-Pain, and his mother Suzie Collier... alongside such luminary icons as Quincy Jones, Herbie Hancock, Hans Zimmer and Joni Mitchell.

Jacob pushes the boundaries of what's creatively possible: writing songs in keys that don't exist, breaking track-count limits in DAWs, utilising illegal chords and colliding musical particles in an overall quantum fashion. Perhaps his most groundbreaking collaboration is that with his audience: to date, Jacob has recorded and incorporated the voices of over 100,000 audience members (including 23 languages) into Djesse Vol. 4, the final volume in his 7 years quadrilogy, which was nominated for 'Album Of The Year' at the 2025 GRAMMYs (his second AOTY nomination for this body of work). This 'Audience Choir' phenomenon, which continues to evolve through improvised moments at his concerts, challenges the status quo of what's possible between an artist and their audience, uniting greater and greater legions of human beings across every continent of the world in a language beyond words.

2025’s The Light For Days - Jacob’s latest album - finds him at his most present and immediate, and centered around a single instrument: the guitar.  During a brief trip home to London, sitting in the same music room where his career began, he chose to explore his 5-string and 10-string signature Taylor acoustic guitars more fully than he ever had before. Through alternate tunings (“DAEAD”) and techniques, he trades scale for intimacy. Recorded and produced in only four days, The Light For Days reflects a core pillar of Jacob’s artistry, offering a sonic counterpart to the moments in his live shows when everything falls away to just him and the music he loves.  

After bringing in-person magic to arenas across the globe throughout 2025, Jacob enters 2026 with an ever effervescent curiosity, bounding towards his next adventure, whilst continuing to share his creative and philosophical ideas, linking up with the BBC as their Ambassador for singing, and TED as their guest music curator for this year’s conference (among other engagements!). Whatever next? Only time will tell...
