Lewis Capaldi to make good on 2023 cancelled shows with new December tour

Lewis Capaldi continues his triumphant comeback – and he has a reward for Aussie fans who missed out on his cancelled 2023 dates.

Scottish singer and songwriter Lewis Capaldi continues his triumphant comeback with an Australian tour in December.

After two years away from the spotlight to address his mental health and “adjust to the impact of my Tourette’s,” Capaldi is rewarding loyal fans who stood by him.

Capaldi cancelled his Splendour in the Grass headlining set and sold out national tour in 2023 after he lost his voice and experienced pronounced tics during his performance at the UK’s famed Glastonbury festival.

Fans who had tickets to those shows will get first shot at the new shows.

The Australian tour opens at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on December 4, then heads to Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on December 6, Rod Laver Arena on December 12, Adelaide Entertainment Centre on December 15 and RAC Arena, Perth on December 17.

A Past Ticket Holders Presale opens on July 10 (local time) with eligible fans notified via an email from Secret Sounds with access information.

The 28-year-old stream sensation made an emotional return with an unannounced but widely guessed “secret” set to the Glastonbury festival last week.

“Second time’s a charm on this one,” he told the crowd during his performance. “I just wanted to come and finish what I couldn’t finish last time.”

It was on that same stage in 2023 that Capaldi’s health issues came to a head and he was unable to go on, with the crowd swelling loudly to finish his beloved breakthrough hit “Somebody You Loved”.

He closed his 2025 Glastonbury comeback set on June 27 with the song.

“I couldn’t sing this song two years ago. I might struggle to finish it today for different reasons,” he said, tearing up.

“My name is Lewis Capaldi and I’m f … in’ back, baby.”

The next day he popped up at the OpenAir St Gallen festival in Switzerland, another cancelled date on the 2023 tour to thank fans, posting on social media that he “had to come back and make it up to you all.”

Buoyed by the overwhelming welcome and feeling fit enough to tour again, Capaldi announced a UK and Ireland tour and celebrated the No. 1 debut of his new single Survive, released the day he played at Glastonbury. It is the fastest selling single in the UK this year.

“I’ve been away for a little while and to come back to this outpouring of love and support has been absolutely incredible,” he said in a video to fans after the No. 1 reveal.

“I can’t thank everybody enough for all the kind words and stuff since Glastonbury, and now this. It’s been the best week of my life.”

There will be huge demand for the December shows here. Besides the Past Ticket Holders Presale, a Secret Sound presale opens on July 11 from 11am (local time) which you can sign up to via secretsounds.com

The general sale kicks off on July 14 from 12pm (local) with more information via secretsounds.com
