After a two-year break from touring, Lewis Capaldi is officially back, and he’s ready to make 2026 his biggest year yet.
The chart-topping singer-songwriter has announced a major UK and Ireland tour for summer 2026, including his first-ever headline slot at BST Hyde Park in London.
The announcement follows Capaldi’s emotional comeback tour, which has seen him return to the stage after taking time away to prioritise his mental and physical health. Fans have flocked to sold-out arena shows around the country, where Lewis has been debuting brand-new music alongside his biggest hits, including Someone You Loved, Before You Go, and Forget Me.
Now, Capaldi is taking things up a notch, confirming eight huge outdoor dates across the UK and Ireland, marking his biggest-ever run of headline shows.
The tour kicks off on June 24, 2026, at Dublin’s Marlay Park, before heading to Limerick, Exeter, Cardiff, Leeds, Belfast, and Manchester, with the jewel in the crown being his headline appearance at American Express presents BST Hyde Park on July 11.
This milestone show will see Capaldi join the ranks of past BST Hyde Park headliners such as Adele, Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, and Taylor Swift.
Here’s the full list of confirmed dates:

Tickets go on sale Friday at 9am, and if Capaldi’s previous tours are anything to go by, they’re expected to sell out quickly. Fans are being encouraged to sign up for pre-sale alerts and act fast when the general sale opens.
Capaldi’s return has been warmly welcomed by fans and critics alike, with many praising his honesty and openness about taking time away from the spotlight. In a recent interview, the singer said:
“I feel refreshed and excited to be back on stage. These shows are going to be the biggest and best of my life, I can’t wait to sing my heart out with everyone next summer.”
With a mix of emotional ballads, cheeky stage banter, and a catalogue of singalong anthems, this tour promises to be one of the biggest live music events of 2026.
