Simply cannot wait xxx." Nottingham Arena also posted: "We can't wait to have you back ❤️." Lewis will be performing in Sheffield, Aberdeen, Glasgow, London, Manchester, Birmingham, Nottingham, Cardiff and Dublin from September 7 to September 29. On Friday, Lewis made a big comeback on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury Festival. His surprise set came exactly two years after he broke down on the same stage at Worthy Farm. Lewis had ended his 2023 performance early due to repeated tics caused by Tourettes and he then went on a two-year hiatus. But as he took to the stage on June 27, 2025, Lewis was met with chants of his name from 100,000 fans. The popstar, who is from Bathgate in West Lothian, told fans the past two years had been 'difficult' but admitted he had unfinished business to resolve. Lewis said to the crowd: "Glastonbury, it's so good to be back. I'm not gonna say much up here today because if I do, I think I'll probably start crying. "But I said 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.' Making light of his 2023 performance, he added: "Second time's a charm on this one, everybody. "It's just a short set today, but I just wanted to come and finish what I couldn't finish the first time.' Festival-goers in Somerset teared up and chanted 'Oh Lewis Capaldi' as he treated them to the surprise 35-minute set with hits like Before You Go and Hold Me While You Wait. Introducing his new song, Survive, which dropped on Thursday, Lewis said: "I released a new song. The last two years haven't been the best for me. It's been quite difficult at times. "I wanted to write a song about overcoming that stuff and getting to the other side of it. "This has been my f****** goal to get here. This song's about that." Capaldi rounded off his set with a rendition of Someone You Loved. Holding back tears, he said: "I've got one more song to play before I leave. I think we all know what song it is. "I've really missed doing this over the last two years. It's been really difficult to think this wouldn't ever happen again. "Genuinely from the bottom of my heart, it means the f****** world. "I struggled to sing this song two years ago for a different reason. Tonight, I think I'll struggle to sing it for another one. This time it's a good one.
