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.”

Eric Hutchinson is finally making his way back to Australia after a 16 year absence, with three East Coast theater dates locked in for November. The shows will also mark his first headline tour across the country.
The short run will begin at Brisbane's Lefty's Music Hall on Nov. 19 before heading to Melbourne's Northcote Social Club on Nov. 20. It wraps up in Sydney with a performance at The Lansdowne on Nov. 21.
Hutchinson's connection with Australia has always been a unique one. His breakthrough in the country came after his song "Rock & Roll" was featured on the Australian drama Packed to the Rafters, helping the track earn platinum certification and climb to No. 1 in 2009. He previously visited Australia as a support act for Jason Mraz and Kelly Clarkson during tours in 2008 and 2009, but he never had the chance to return with a headline show of his own.
"I honestly have no idea why I never came back to Australia, other than the fact that it's super far away from New York City, where I live," he said in a statement, adding that the timing finally aligned after years of fan requests.
Back in the United States, the success of "Rock & Roll" followed a different path. The song became Hutchinson's first gold certified single in the country, although it did not enter the Hot 100. The album Sounds Like This originally found its audience as an independent release after a Perez Hilton endorsement helped it climb to No. 5 on the iTunes Store in September 2007. It later debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart before receiving a broader release through Warner Bros. Records in May 2008. Since then, Hutchinson has continued putting out new albums while growing a loyal fanbase through consistent touring.
The Australian dates are in support of Hutchinson's latest album, the 2026 release Repeating Myself, which has been described as a return to the piano driven pop and soul style that first introduced him to many listeners. Fans can also expect to hear familiar favorites including "Rock & Roll," "OK, It's Alright With Me" and "A Little More."
Marshall Hamburger, winner of the tenth season of Australian Idol in 2025, has been announced as the opening act for all three shows.
