Lewis Capaldi says it's 'time he gets back to work' as he announces Irish return
Singer Lewis Capaldi has said he feels it is "about time I got back to work" after he announced a UK and Ireland tour after a two-year hiatus.
The Survive hitmaker took a break after he struggled to manage his Tourette Syndrome symptoms during a Glastonbury performance.
But he made his return to the stage at Glastonbury over the weekend, telling fans: "I'm back, baby".
Now the Scottish hitmaker has announced a UK and Ireland tour for later this year and is set to play Dublin's 3Arena on September 29, with tickets going on sale on July 10 at 9am.
Announcing the tour on social media, he said it is "about time I got back to work", adding to his fans "hope to see you out there".
Skye Newman and Aaron Rowe will be his support acts in Dublin.
Along with Dublin, Capaldi's tour will include shows in Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff, Glasgow and two performances in London.
Prices will range from €30 up to €158.25, subject to a 12.5 per cent service charge per ticket, up to a maximum of €10.50.
The news comes after Capaldi played a triumphant surprise set at Glastonbury on Friday 27 July, two years after a performance at the festival during which he struggled to manage his Tourette Syndrome symptoms.
Capaldi marked his Glastonbury return by performing hits such as Before You Go, Grace, Hold Me While You Wait, Bruises, Forget Me, a first live showing of Survive, and one of his most popular songs, Someone You Loved.
He told the crowd at Glastonbury: "It's so good to be back. I'm not going to say much up here today, because if I do, I think I will probably start crying.
"But it's just amazing to be here with you all, and I can't thank you all enough for coming out and coming and seeing me."
Capaldi performed a 35-minute set on the Pyramid Stage and while introducing his new song, he became visibly emotional as he said: "The last two years haven't been the best for me. It's been difficult at times."
"This has been my f****** goal, to get back here," he added.

Bizbit HOLLYWOOD star Glen Powell put a few noses out of joint when he pushed through the crowd to get a prime spot for Charli XCX's show.

Meanwhile, Zoe stuck to water and was seen dancing along to a remix of Duran Duran's Girls On Film well into the early hours.
