Lewis Capaldi announces UK and Ireland tour after his triumphant return to Glastonbury following a two-year hiatus amid his battle with Tourettes

Lewis Capaldi has announced he’s heading on a UK and Ireland tour this year following his triumphant return to Glastonbury.

The Scottish singer, 28, left music lovers thrilled as he took to the Pyramid stage at Worthy Farm on Friday, two years after his battle with Tourette’s left him unable to finish his set.

And days after his emotional return to the festival, Lewis thrilled fans once more as he revealed he’s set to head on the road in September, humorously noting on Instagram that it’s ‘about time I got back to work.’

The Someone You Loved hitmaker will play 10 dates later this year, playing venues in cities including Sheffield, Aberdeen, Birmingham and Nottingham.

Lewis, who last week unveiled his new track Survive, will also play two days at London’s 02 Arena.

Lewis went on to confirm on Instagram that these would be his ‘only shows’ in the UK, Ireland and Europe this year.
