“About time I got back to work...hope to see you out there”

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.

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.

 
Introducing the song at Glastonbury, he said: “The last two years haven’t been the best for me, it’s been difficult at times. I wanted to make a song that was about overcoming that stuff and getting through it. This has been my fucking goal, to get back here doing this. So this song is about that.”

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.”

Panic! At The Disco are preparing to release a special deluxe anniversary edition of A Fever You Can't Sweat Out.

The I Write Sins Not Tragedies icons marked the 20th anniversary of their groundbreaking 2005 debut album during their performance at When We Were Young Festival in Las Vegas over the weekend, and have now confirmed the new edition.

On January 23, the group — originally formed by Brendon Urie, Spencer Smith, Ryan Ross and Brent Wilson — will unveil a limited edition box set that features a remastered version of the record.

The package, priced at £164.99 and available for pre-order, includes 11 unreleased demos and a vinyl pressing of 2006’s Live In Denver. The full live set has also been uploaded to YouTube.

On the band’s UK store, they shared a message:

“To celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Panic! At The Disco’s seminal debut album, this limited edition box set brings together a comprehensive time capsule celebrating the record's impact.

This release includes the original album remastered for the first time ever, 11 unreleased demos, plus the legendary 2006 Live In Denver performance — never before released on vinyl or CD.

The box set also includes a 12-page zine with never before seen photos from the era, a sticker set, a door hanger, and a paper doll set.”

By 2023, the band had essentially become a solo project for Urie. Their final show was held in Manchester, UK, where the frontman said: “Sometimes a journey must end for a new one to begin.

“We’ve been trying to keep it to ourselves, though some of you may have heard… Sarah and I are expecting a baby very soon!

The prospect of being a father and getting to watch my wife become a mother is both humbling and exciting. I look forward to this next adventure.”

Panic! returned to the stage at WWWY over the weekend, performing A Fever You Can't Sweat Out in full alongside fan favorites like This Is Gospel and Nine in the Afternoon.

To end the night, they performed I Write Sins Not Tragedies once again, as Smith reunited with Urie for the emotional closing moment.
