The UK leg of the tour is hitting cities like London, Manchester, Birmingham, and Glasgow. Expect a show that feels less like a formal concert and more like a living room jam session that accidentally got fancy. The setlist changes every night, so you might hear a ragtime version of “Blinding Lights” or a swing-era take on “Watermelon Sugar.”
You’ll also see a rotating cast of vocalists—some you’ll recognize from YouTube, others new faces. They’re all unbelievably good at flipping a song’s mood. One moment you’re swaying to a sad song, the next you’re laughing because the saxophonist is doing a little dance. It’s joyful chaos, the kind that makes you forget about your phone for two hours.
And yes, there will be a moment where they ask the audience to clap along. Don’t resist. It’s not just polite participation; it’s a chance to feel like you’re part of something bigger than your commute.

Why you should care (even if you’re not a “music person”)
Maybe you think, “I don’t know modern pop, so I’ll be lost.” That’s like saying you can’t enjoy a pizza because you don’t know the farmer who grew the tomatoes. These songs are familiar in a way that the original versions often aren’t anymore. You’ll hear a melody and think, “I know this from somewhere,” and then the chorus hits, and you’ll be singing along.
Think of it as comfort food for your ears. You know how a good bowl of pasta can make a bad day better? PMJ is like that, but with a harmonica solo. It takes a song you love, or even a song you hate, and transforms it into something you want to hear on a rainy Sunday morning.
Plus, this is a live show that rewards spontaneity. You never know which singer will belt a note that gives you goosebumps, or which instrumental break will make you want to learn the accordion. (Spoiler: you will not learn the accordion, but you’ll appreciate it deeply for three hours.)
