Lewis Capaldi has announced a new UK and Ireland tour for this September – see the full list of dates below.
The singer-songwriter made a triumphant and redemptive return to the stage at Glastonbury 2025 on Friday (June 27) as an unannounced performer on the Pyramid Stage. He declared during the set that “I’m fucking back, baby!”, completing the show that he was unable to in 2023.
Now, Capaldi has consolidated his comeback with news of an arena tour to take place later in the year, including two huge shows at London’s The O2.
Announcing the shows, he wrote on social media: “About time I got back to work…hope to see you out there.”
Capaldi kicks off in Sheffield’s Utilita Arena on September 7, followed by Aberdeen and Glasgow, before the London shows on September 17 and 18. He then hits Manchester, Birmingham, Nottingham and Cardiff, before finishing up at Dublin’s 3 Arena on September 29.
Tickets go on pre-sale on July 8 at 9am and the general sale begins at the same time on July 10 – you will be able to get yours here.

Capaldi preceded his Glastonbury return with the new single ‘Survive’ last week, his first new material since 2023. The moving track sees the singer addressing his mental health struggles: “Most nights, I fear that I’m not enough / I’ve had my share of Monday mornings when I can’t get up / But when hope is lost and I come undone / I swear to God, I’ll survive / If it kills me to / I’m gonna get up and try / If it’s the last thing I do,” he sings.
Fans lauded his emotional return, with one writing: “This is strength, resilience, and perseverance personified. Two years ago, I watched live coverage as Lewis Capaldi was floored by Tourettes. He takes two years to rest, recover, and heal, showing those struggling with mental health issues that there is always a way back.”
Perry Farrell has released another public apology following an on-stage confrontation involving his bandmate Dave Navarro.
The Jane's Addiction frontman was involved in a physical altercation with guitarist Dave Navarro last year during a live performance, an incident that prompted the band to cancel their reunion tour and eventually led to their split.
“I'd like to address what happened on stage last year,” Perry, 66, said in a statement shared across both his personal Instagram account and Jane's Addiction’s official page. “I've reflected on it and know I didn't handle myself the way I should have. I apologize to our patrons and my bandmates for losing my temper and for disrupting the show.”
He went on to admit that he did not meet fan expectations and described himself as deeply remorseful toward everyone impacted by the incident.
“Jane's Addiction has been at the center of my life for decades. The band, the songs, the patrons, and the impact that we've had on music and culture mean more to me than any words I could ever possibly write down,” he shared.
“My aim has always been to give our audience the best possible show, something real, honest and positive. In Boston, we fell short of that, and I'm truly sorry to everyone who was impacted.”
Jane's Addiction also issued its own statement regarding the altercation, which ultimately led to the group’s remaining members filing a lawsuit against Perry alleging assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of contract.
“Today we are here to announce that we have come together one last time to resolve our differences, so that the legacy of Jane's Addiction will remain the work the four of us created together,” the band wrote, signaling that the group would not move forward with Perry. “We now look forward to the future as we embark on our separate musical and creative endeavors.”
