Lewis Capaldi is also set to headline BST Hyde Park and Roundhay Festival next summer following his return to live performances this year.
The 28-year-old Scot, who announced a break from touring shortly after his performance at the Glastonbury Festival in 2023, returned to the Somerset festival earlier this year to play a short set on the Pyramid Stage.
Lewis announced a UK and Ireland tour shortly after his appearance and said it was the ‘most incredible, surreal feeling’ when all of the shows sold out.
Prior to the festival slot, the Glaswegian star performed a number of secret gigs and guest appearances, saying in an interview with therapy charity BetterHelp that he felt a ‘rush of adrenaline’ before managing to calm himself before his first warm-up gig in Edinburgh.
In April 2023, Netflix released the documentary Lewis Capaldi: How I’m Feeling Now, which depicted Lewis’ experience with Tourette’s, the reasoning behind his decision to take a step back from the limelight two years ago.

Following the UK and Ireland tour, Lewis will head to Australia and New Zealand for a string of dates in November and December.
Lewis is the first headliner announced for Roundhay, a new festival taking place in Leeds that has been launched in collaboration with Leeds City Council.
He is the second headline act announced for British Summer Time (BST), where he will make his debut at the London-based music event.
Jim King, chief executive of live entertainment company AEG Presents UK and European Festivals said: ‘Announcing Lewis Capaldi as a BST Hyde Park headliner for 2026 feels absolutely perfect.
‘He is fast becoming a legend for a new generation and will take his place comfortably among the great BST headliners.
‘We had a glimpse of the magic when he joined Noah Kahan on stage this year, but this will be the true comeback that everyone has been waiting for, and we are so proud to host it.’
This year’s line up at BST included headline sets from US pop star Sabrina Carpenter, Glastonbury headliner Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts and US singer Stevie Wonder.
Roundhay Park has played host to performances from the Rolling Stones, Madonna, Michael Jackson and Ed Sheeran, among many other performers through the years.
Lewis will perform at Roundhay Festival on Saturday July 4 2026 and make his debut performance at BST Hyde Park on July 11.
