Grittier in songwriting approach and richer in voice than most of his contemporaries, R&B artist Ro James gained a foothold independently before he made his commercial breakthrough with ‘Permission’ (2015). Ro James’ breakout slow jam, blending classic ’70s soul with modern trap production, earned him a Grammy nomination and platinum status, spotlighting his 2016 debut album El Dorado. His latest single, ‘On Me’, released on 6th June 2025, marks a highly anticipated return to the UK. Ro James will be joined by fellow Grammy-nominated artist Jon B as a very special guest. Jon B’s richly textured body of work is a testament to his enduring love for soul music, proven over a career spanning more than 25 years. His ninth studio album, ‘WAITING on YOU’ - featuring R&B heavyweights Tank, Donell Jones, Alex Isley, and rapper Rick Ross - was released on 21st March 2025. *By purchasing a ticket to this event you are agreeing to adhere to Islington Assembly Hall's terms and conditions: https://islingtonassemblyhall.co.uk/customer-terms-conditions-2022/* *All tickets to shows at Islington Assembly Hall are subject to a Venue Levy of £1.50 + VAT.
