Scottish singing sensation Lewis Capaldi has announced he’ll be returning to Australian shores this December for his first national performances since 2020.
Scottish pop star Lewis Capaldi has announced his much-anticipated return to Australia, marking his first national tour since 2020. The tour will kick off in December 2025, with Capaldi performing across major cities, culminating in a final show at Perth’s RAC Arena on December 17.
Capaldi, who has maintained a relatively low profile over the past two years, is making a comeback with his new single “Survive.” This follows his notable appearance at the Glastonbury Festival in June, where he delighted fans with his characteristic humor and candidness. “My name’s Lewis Capaldi and I’m f**king back, baby,” he declared to an enthusiastic crowd.
Tour Details and Fan Anticipation
The tour will begin in New Zealand in November before Capaldi arrives in Brisbane on December 4. He will then perform in Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide, with the tour concluding in Perth. This will be Capaldi’s first return to Australian stages since his performance at the Falls Festival during the summer of 2019/2020.
Fans who had tickets to Capaldi’s cancelled 2023 tour will have the opportunity to purchase tickets early through a Past Ticket Holders Presale starting July 10. General ticket sales will open to the public on July 14.
Capaldi’s Journey and Mental Health Advocacy
Capaldi’s return to the stage comes after a brief hiatus from live performances, during which he focused on his mental health. The singer has been open about his struggles with Tourette’s Syndrome, which affected his performance at Glastonbury in 2023. At the time, he told fans, “I feel like I’ll be taking another wee break over the next couple of weeks. So you probably won’t see much of me for the rest of the year, maybe even. But when I do come back and when I do see you, I hope you’re still up for watching us.”
His candidness about mental health has resonated with many, particularly during his appearance as a guest for the mental health charity CALM during Mental Health Awareness Week. Capaldi’s willingness to share his experiences has made him a relatable figure to fans worldwide.
Impact and Expectations
The announcement of Capaldi’s tour is a significant moment for fans who have eagerly awaited his return.
