Following his surprise Glastonbury appearance, Lewis Capaldi has announced a brand-new UK tour — and Cardiff is officially on the list.
The multi-platinum-selling singer-songwriter will bring his powerhouse vocals and unmistakable charm to Cardiff’s Utilita Arena on Saturday 27th September 2025, joined by rising stars Skye Newman and Aaron Rowe as special guests.
The announcement marks Capaldi’s highly anticipated return to live touring, coming off the back of his emotional hiatus and triumphant secret set at Glastonbury, which reignited excitement among fans across the country.
With a reputation for raw, heartfelt ballads and hilariously self-deprecating stage banter, Capaldi’s Cardiff date promises a night of music and mischief from one of the UK’s most beloved performers.
‘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, creating another three heartbreaking UK number 1 singles, ‘Pointless’, ‘Wish You The Best’ and the Platinum-certified ‘Forget Me’, working with hitmakers including Max Martin (Taylor Swift, The Weeknd), Malay (Lorde, Frank Ocean), and longtime collaborator Phil Plested(James Bay, Bastille).
The album also gained widespread critical acclaim from the likes of The Guardian, New York Times,NME, Rolling Stone, GQ, Stereogum & many more. It also topped airplay charts, smashing an impressive 95,000 units, outselling the rest of that week’s Top 10 combined, as well as outselling first week sales of his own monumental debut album Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent.
April 2023 saw the global Netflix release of Lewis’ compelling, raw and honest feature-length, GRAMMY®-nominated music documentary ‘Lewis Capaldi: How I’m Feeling Now’ – available to watch on the platform now. The documentary shot straight to the top of the Netflix chart, making it the most watched film on the platform since its release.
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.
Tickets go on sale Thursday 10th July, and demand is expected to be high — so fans are encouraged to set their alarms and be ready.
Whether you’ve been with him since Someone You Loved or fell for him with Wish You the Best, this is one tour you won’t want to miss.
