Lewis Capaldi announces 2025 Australian summer tour dates
Scottish pop star Lewis Capaldi will return to Australia this summer for the first time in five years. After keeping a relatively low profile for the past two years, the Someone You Loved hitmaker is back with a vengeance after a bravura set at the recent Glastonbury Festival. Keeping the momentum going, Lewis, 28, will return to Australia in December for five headlining dates. Kicking off his antipodean run with two New Zealand shows, Lewis will begin the Australian run at Brisbane Entertainment Centre on December 4, before hitting Sydney 's Qudos Bank Arena on December 6. The tour will then roll into Melbourne 's Rod Laver Arena and Adelaide Entertainment Centre on December 12 and 15, before finishing at Perth 's RAC Arena on Wednesday, December 17. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Lewis, who was last in the country for the Falls Festival in 2019, left Aussie fans heartbroken when he was forced to cancel an Australian tour. To make up for the heartbreak, fans who bought tickets for the 2023 shows will have exclusive access to a past purchaser pre-sale from 11am on Thursday, July 10. Meanwhile, Secret Sounds pre-sale gets underway from 11am on Friday, July 11, while general on sale is from 12pm on Monday, July 14. News of Lewis' return to Australian shores was met with much excitement from fans on Instagram. Commenting on the Live Nation announcement, one wrote: 'The world is healing. We've missed you @lewiscapaldi.' Others were hopeful that more shows would be added with the likes of: 'One show in Melbourne won't do anything lol all the previous people will get the tickets before anyone else can.' Back in 2023, Lewis apologised profusely to Aussie fans on Instagram as he announced he would no longer be touring 'for the foreseeable future'. He was initially slated to play shows in Sydney, Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne, before heading to Byron Bay for Splendour in the Grass. However, the Scotsman cancelled all shows in Australia due to persistent struggles he was experiencing with his Tourette's symptoms. 'I'm so incredibly sorry to everyone who had planned to come to a show before the end of the year but I need to feel well to perform at the standard you all deserve,' he wrote in a lengthy message. He added: 'Playing for you every night is all I've ever dreamed of so this has been the most difficult decision of my life. I'll be back as soon as I possibly can.' The move didn't come as a shock to fans, as the Someone You Loved hitmaker had difficulties completing his 2023 Glastonbury set. Lewis became emotional during the set as his tics made it difficult to complete songs, prompting fans to sing along in a heartwarming show of support. He had taken three weeks off before his gig on the Pyramid Stage, but admitted it was not enough as he cancelled the remaining 24 live dates he had scheduled. 'I used to be able to enjoy every second of shows like this and I'd hoped three weeks away would sort me out,' he explained in his message. 'But the truth is I'm still learning to adjust to the impact of my Tourette's, and on Saturday it became obvious that I need to spend much more time getting my mental and physical health in order, so I can keep doing everything I love for a long time to come. 'I know I'm incredibly fortunate to be able to take some time out when others can't and I'd like to thank my amazing family, friends, team, medical professionals and all of you who've been so supportive every step of the way through the good times and even more during this past year when I've needed it more than ever.' Reflecting on his 2023 Glastonbury performance, Lewis – who has teamed up with BetterHelp, the world's largest online therapy platform, for a new promotional campaign – recently admitted he thought it would be the last of his career. 'I think I probably knew two songs into the set at Glastonbury that I couldn't do it,' he said. 'Glastonbury's obviously a big deal - it's kind of like the biggest deal - and it was the Pyramid Stage, so it was a big old gig. 'Second song in I was like probably like, I can't keep doing this to myself and other people as well. People are coming to gigs, it's not how you want to watch a show. And as far as I was concerned, I was like "I'm done indefinitely."' The singer-songwriter subsequently announced a hiatus from music while he prioritised his mental health, but looking back he believes he also needed a complete break from the industry as a whole. 'I didn't take a break to just focus on getting better,' he said. 'I took a break because I needed a break, and to sort of release the pressure valve a little bit.'
