After two years away from the spotlight, global superstar Lewis Capaldi is back on tour in arenas across the UK, including a date in Aberdeen’s P&J Live on Thursday 11th September.
On Friday afternoon, a headliner-sized Pyramid Stage crowd embraced the emotion of Lewis’s emergence into the sunshine for a powerful, hit-laden half-hour.
Today, Lewis announces a UK & Ireland Arena Tour for September 2025, with dates in Sheffield, Aberdeen, Glasgow, London, Manchester, Birmingham, Nottingham, Cardiff, Dublin – Tickets on sale HERE with Pre-Sale: Tuesday, Jul 8th @ 9.00am & General Sale: Thursday, Jul 10th @ 9.00am.
‘Survive’ sees Lewis re-united with close collaborator Romans, who co-wrote his global megahit ‘Someone You Loved’, that extraordinarily turned 10x Platinum earlier this year.
The new track arrives off the back of a run of Scottish warm up shows in May that saw Lewis return to the stage as a guest of mental health charity CALM, in celebration of Mental Health Awareness Week. With no pressure, and no level of expectation, the shows allowed Capaldi the space to gauge his comfort and emotional response before returning to the spotlight – a move which ended up proving nothing short of a triumph.
Lewis’ last release, the hit-stacked record Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent, scored him his second UK number 1 album.
Lewis’ subsequent success stems back to 2019’s multimillion selling debut Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent, which propelled Capaldi from bedroom musician to superstar. Few had seen a debut release quite like it, becoming the biggest selling UK album of both 2019 & 2020, spawning two UK number 1 singles, bagging a few BRITs and a GRAMMY® nomination, with one of those number 1’s becoming a smash hit on both sides of the globe in ‘Someone You Loved’, which as well as recently going 10x Platinum, is also the UK’s most streamed song of all time & the world’s fourth highest ever streamed song.
After weathering the kind of storm that few can prepare for, Lewis Capaldi returns with a renewed sense of purpose. ‘Survive’ proves that even in the darkest moments, there’s still strength in showing up. As he marks a new era, Lewis isn’t just surviving, he’s returning even stronger, heart wide open, and ready to step out again.
In Case You Missed it:
Rob Wicks, Managing Director at P&J Live, said: “15,000 fans will remember Lewis Capaldi’s last gig at P&J Live in January 2023, when he equalled the Scottish indoor standing crowd record held by Gerry Cinnamon. Two years on, I’m sure his fans will all agree we’ve been desperate to see him back on stage doing what he does best, and we know he’ll sound better than ever. If you’ve never seen him before, it’s time – he is truly phenomenal.”
