“I couldn’t be more thrilled to be heading out on the road with these kind, generous, and talented dudes,” says Sam Nelson.
“The Vamps have been a band for about as long as X Ambassadors have been a band, so I feel a special kinship with them already and I can’t wait to bond with all of their fans as well.
“Plus, this will be my first time playing solo, just me and an acoustic guitar. I’ll be playing a mix of X Ambassadors stuff as well as debuting some stuff from my upcoming solo project, which I’m very excited about.”
