Lewis Capaldi says it's 'time he gets back to work' as he announces Irish return
The Survive hitmaker took a break after he struggled to manage his Tourette Syndrome symptoms during a Glastonbury performance.
But he made his return to the stage at Glastonbury over the weekend, telling fans: "I'm back, baby".
Now the Scottish hitmaker has announced a UK and Ireland tour for later this year and is set to play Dublin's 3Arena on September 29, with tickets going on sale on July 10 at 9am.
Announcing the tour on social media, he said it is "about time I got back to work", adding to his fans "hope to see you out there".
Skye Newman and Aaron Rowe will be his support acts in Dublin.
Along with Dublin, Capaldi's tour will include shows in Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff, Glasgow and two performances in London.
Prices will range from €30 up to €158.25, subject to a 12.5 per cent service charge per ticket, up to a maximum of €10.50.
The news comes after Capaldi played a triumphant surprise set at Glastonbury on Friday 27 July, two years after a performance at the festival during which he struggled to manage his Tourette Syndrome symptoms.
Capaldi marked his Glastonbury return by performing hits such as Before You Go, Grace, Hold Me While You Wait, Bruises, Forget Me, a first live showing of Survive, and one of his most popular songs, Someone You Loved.
He told the crowd at Glastonbury: "It's so good to be back. I'm not going to say much up here today, because if I do, I think I will probably start crying.
"But it's just amazing to be here with you all, and I can't thank you all enough for coming out and coming and seeing me."
Capaldi performed a 35-minute set on the Pyramid Stage and while introducing his new song, he became visibly emotional as he said: "The last two years haven't been the best for me. It's been difficult at times."
"This has been my f****** goal, to get back here," he added.

Irishman cycles 2,000km from Spain to Glastonbury (and he's going to cycle home to Sligo too)
ON 28 MAY, Ollie White got on his bike and set off from the Spanish capital of Madrid. His lease had just concluded, he had finished up at his job, and it felt like a 'natural end' to his life in Spain. The 25-year-old had been living in Spain for three years, he told The Journal : one year in Valencia and two in Madrid. He had booked his ticket to attend Glastonbury some time before, and it seemed like the perfect time to travel before heading home to Sligo. The cycle from Madrid to Glastonbury spanned 2,150km and took White 28 days to complete. Along the way, he camped 90% of the time, staying in hostels where needed. 'Unless there was some specific reason, like I needed to charge [my devices] or I needed the shelter, or I needed something, I would just find a spot in the woods or in a field and just put my tent up, and I'd be grand,' he said. The cyclist spent most nights along the journey sleeping in a two-man tent. Ollie White Ollie White He arrived at Worthy Farm on Tuesday night, 24 June, and stayed for the weekend. For him, Kneecap's performance was one of the highlights of the festival. 'I would say it will be the most memorable gig of the weekend,' he said. 'It was incredible. The atmosphere, the sea of Palestinian flags, tricolours, so many Irish people. Advertisement 'And just to hear the Irish language being enjoyed by well over 30,000 people, it was honestly spectacular. I just think [Kneecap] really took that moment, and they really articulated themselves very well. Obviously there's so much controversy around them at the moment, but the overriding message they were spreading was 'all we want is peace'.' White documented his journey on social media. He had previously been working as a content creator in Spain. 'I wanted to raise money for two important causes, and I wanted to split it between two, because I wanted to make an impact in Sligo, where I'm from, and then an impact on a global level.' Ollie White Ollie White White chose the organisation Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) and North West Hospice in Sligo. The funds raised are being split evenly between both causes. He explained that he had been aware of Médecins Sans Frontières since he was a student in secondary school, when a former student working for the healthcare charity came to speak to his class. 'I was really amazed by what he was doing, basically risking his life to provide medical aid for people in the most dire situations,' White said. 'In the last year and a half, with everything going on in Palestine – and different countries around the world who we were less aware of – I wanted to do something for Palestine, and I knew Doctors Without Borders were providing really important medical aid.' He added that he has seen the important work carried out by North West Hospice and sees the value it brings the community. Now in Bristol after the end of the festival, White plans to cycle around the UK for a while with a friend and visit some family based in various areas before returning to Ireland for a number of months. After that? 'South America,' he said. 'Maybe towards the end of this year.' Readers like you are keeping these stories free for everyone...

CMAT's mother 'speechless' after watching her daughter on stage at Glastonbury
The mother of pop singer CMAT has told how she was "speechless" when she watched her famous daughter perform at Glastonbury. Sinead Thompson said she never thought one day she would see her daughter - whose real name is Ciara Mary-Alice - perform in front of thousands of music fans at the UK festival last Friday. Speaking on 2FM Breakfast with Carl, Roz and Aisling, Sinead said she was "giddy" with enjoyment when she saw her daughter, from Dunboyne, Co Meath, on the Pyramid Stage. Sinead said: "It was absolutely amazing. I couldn't speak and that's not like me. I was giddy with enjoyment and full of fun." Sinead admitted she did shed a tear with pride when she saw CMAT on stage. "Of course I did. It was unreal. You might dream of it but you'd never think your child would end up like that." Speaking about CMAT's childhood, she said her daughter was always interested in music and was influenced by The Beatles because of Ryan Tubridy's former radio show on RTE Radio One. "The Beatles were a big thing for her because of Ryan Tubridy. "When nobody bought records, Ciara was coming in with a record." But she admitted that being a middle child has always kept her grounded, despite her super stardom - with Sinead joking that her siblings would never let her get away with anything. "Absolutely. 100 per cent. She is the exact same. She'll never not be grounded being the third child of a family of four. They don't let her away with anything," she said jokingly. It comes after The Guardian described her as a "spectacularly brilliant" performer, speculating that this show could pave the way for an even bigger surge in her popularity, outlining a "rapturous reaction" to her set. "When she successfully encourages the audience to engage in synchronised dance moves to I Wanna Be a Cowboy, Baby!, she looks quite startled at what a crowd this size enthusiastically dancing in unison looks like," The Guardian review reads. "It's all incredibly engaging and preposterously good fun. "The Rolling Stones said CMAT 'has it all' and will be one of the defining artists of 2025." "Her songs are catchy, poignant and well-crafted; on stage, she's a powerhouse of performance, cracking gags and diving into the crowd, but not forgetting to make her final statement a call for a free Palestine. It's rare that a standout set, unlikely to be beaten for the whole weekend, arrives so early on the Friday afternoon at Worthy Farm, but the Irish singer is on a roll of stunning momentum right now."

Bob Vylan claim they are being ‘targeted' for speaking up about Palestine
They were criticised after leading chants of 'Death, death to the IDF (Israel Defence Forces)' during a livestreamed performance at the Somerset music festival on Saturday afternoon. The BBC apologised after the set at the West Holts Stage was livestreamed, saying on Monday describing the chants were 'antisemitic sentiments' that were 'unacceptable'. Bobby Vylan, one half of the British duo, also led his audience in chants that included 'Free, free Palestine'. Posting a statement on Instagram on Tuesday, captioned 'Silence is not an option', the group said: 'Today, a good many people would have you believe a punk band is the number one threat to world peace. 'Last week it was a Palestine pressure group. The week before that it was another band.' Bob Vylan performed on the West Holts Stage slot directly before Irish rap trip Kneecap, whose member Liam Og O hAnnaidh, also known as Mo Chara, appeared in court in June charged with a terror offence. Kneecap also led the Glastonbury audience in 'Free Palestine' chants, and on Monday Avon and Somerset Police said it had launched a probe into both performances after reviewing video footage and audio recordings. The more time they talk about Bob Vylan the less time they spend answering for their criminal inaction Bob Vylan The Bob Vylan statement continued: 'We are not for the death of Jews, Arabs or any other race or group of people. 'We are for the dismantling of a violent military machine. A machine whose own soldiers were told to use 'unnecessary lethal force' against innocent civilians waiting for aid. 'A machine that has destroyed much of Gaza.' The statement added: 'We, like those in the spotlight before us, are not the story. ADVERTISEMENT Learn more 'We are a distraction from the story. And whatever sanctions we receive will be a distraction. 'The Government doesn't want us to ask why they remain silent in the face of this atrocity? To ask why they aren't doing more to stop the killing? To feed the starving? 'The more time they talk about Bob Vylan the less time they spend answering for their criminal inaction. 'We are being targeted for speaking up. We are not the first, we will not be the last, and if you care for the sanctity of human life and freedom of speech, we urge you to speak up too.' Avon and Somerset Police said it had launched a probe into both the Bob Vylan and Kneecap performances, with a senior detective appointed to lead the investigation. A force spokesman said: 'This has been recorded as a public order incident at this time while our inquiries are at an early stage. 'The investigation will be evidence-led and will closely consider all appropriate legislation, including relating to hate crimes.' The BBC has faced strong criticism for continuing to livestream the Bob Vylan performance on iPlayer with on-screen warnings about discriminatory language. It has since been revealed that BBC director-general Tim Davie was at Glastonbury when the pro-Palestine chants were broadcast. A BBC spokesperson said: 'The director-general was informed of the incident after the performance and at that point he was clear it should not feature in any other Glastonbury coverage.' Bob Vylan have now been banned from the US, where they were due to tour in autumn with performances in Chicago, Brooklyn and Philadelphia. US deputy secretary of state Christopher Landau said the duo's visas were revoked for their 'hateful tirade at Glastonbury'. Bobby Vylan is the stage name of Pascal Robinson-Foster, 34, according to reports, while his bandmate drummer uses the alias Bobbie Vylan. The group was formed in Ipswich in 2017, and are known for addressing political issues in their albums including racism, masculinity and class. The group are expected to perform at Radar Festival in Manchester on Saturday and at the Boardmasters surfing and music festival in Newquay, Cornwall in August.
