Lewis has now revealed he is hitting the road in September for a string of huge arena gigs.
Taking to Instagram, Lewis shared a video montage of himself performing on stage with the caption: "About time I got back to work… hope to see you out there."
The clip revealed a string of dates across England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland and Lewis added: "Will be my only shows in the uk, ireland or europe this year! would love to see ya there 🌸 x."
Fans have gone wild for the news, with one replying: "I cannot wait 😍🔥 ready to fight like the hunger games for tickets!"
Another added: "The hero the UK needs right now."
And a third said: "Can't wait! Simply cannot wait xxx."
Nottingham Arena also posted: "We can't wait to have you back ❤️."
Lewis will be performing in Sheffield, Aberdeen, Glasgow, London, Manchester, Birmingham, Nottingham, Cardiff and Dublin from September 7 to September 29.
On Friday, Lewis made a big comeback on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury Festival.
His surprise set came exactly two years after he broke down on the same stage at Worthy Farm.
Lewis had ended his 2023 performance early due to repeated tics caused by Tourettes and he then went on a two-year hiatus.
But as he took to the stage on June 27, 2025, Lewis was met with chants of his name from 100,000 fans.
The popstar, who is from Bathgate in West Lothian, told fans the past two years had been 'difficult' but admitted he had unfinished business to resolve.
Lewis said to the crowd: "Glastonbury, it's so good to be back. I'm not gonna say much up here today because if I do, I think I'll probably start crying.
"But I said 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.'
Making light of his 2023 performance, he added: "Second time's a charm on this one, everybody.
"It's just a short set today, but I just wanted to come and finish what I couldn't finish the first time.'
Festival-goers in Somerset teared up and chanted 'Oh Lewis Capaldi' as he treated them to the surprise 35-minute set with hits like Before You Go and Hold Me While You Wait.
Introducing his new song, Survive, which dropped on Thursday, Lewis said: "I released a new song. The last two years haven't been the best for me. It's been quite difficult at times.
"I wanted to write a song about overcoming that stuff and getting to the other side of it.
"This has been my f****** goal to get here. This song's about that."
Capaldi rounded off his set with a rendition of Someone You Loved.
Holding back tears, he said: "I've got one more song to play before I leave. I think we all know what song it is.
"I've really missed doing this over the last two years. It's been really difficult to think this wouldn't ever happen again.
"Genuinely from the bottom of my heart, it means the f****** world.
"I struggled to sing this song two years ago for a different reason. Tonight, I think I'll struggle to sing it for another one. This time it's a good one.
"My name's Lewis Capaldi and I'm f****** back baby!"

Committee asks BBC boss for view on ‘what went wrong' with Glastonbury coverage
Committee asks BBC boss for view on 'what went wrong' with Glastonbury coverage The BBC has faced strong criticism for continuing to livestream the performance of punk rap duo Bob Vylan, which is now the subject of a criminal police investigation Tim Davie was at Glastonbury Festival when pro-Palestine chants were broadcast by the BBC (Image: PA Wire/PA Images ) A Government committee has written to BBC director-general Tim Davie asking him for a "personal assessment of what went wrong" with the broadcaster's Glastonbury coverage. The BBC has faced strong criticism for continuing to livestream the performance of punk rap duo Bob Vylan, which is now the subject of a criminal police investigation, at the festival on iPlayer. They led chants of "Death, death to the IDF (Israel Defence Forces)" during their set on the West Holts Stage on Saturday, with the broadcaster providing on-screen warnings about discriminatory language on its platform. It later apologised on Monday and said the chants held "antisemitic sentiments" that were "unacceptable". Irish rap trio Kneecap, who are also facing an Avon and Somerset Police investigation, appeared on the same stage directly after Bob Vylan and led the Glastonbury audience in "Free Palestine" chants. It has since been revealed that Tim Davie was at Glastonbury when the pro-Palestine chants were broadcast. Article continues below In a letter sent to Mr Davie by the Culture, Media and Sport Committee on Tuesday, chairwoman Dame Caroline Dinenage asked the BBC boss 12 questions after saying its coverage had caused "widespread concern". Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy previously said that "several" editorial failures "becomes a problem of leadership" during a statement on the BBC's coverage to the Commons. Among the questions, Dame Caroline said: "Before the festival started, did the BBC consider streaming all or part of its Glastonbury coverage with a short time delay, to allow room to respond to events if necessary?" The Conservative MP went on to ask how many BBC staff and contractors were working at Glastonbury or on its coverage, if staff with the authority to cut Bob Vylan's live stream were present during their performance and whether ending the live stream was discussed mid-performance. Dame Caroline then asked: "At what level were the decisions made to not stream Kneecap live and to stream Bob Vylan live, but with a warning on screen?" The letter asked if the BBC had a contingency plan for the event and who was responsible for forming and actioning the plan, before asking if the broadcaster would review its Editorial Guidelines and guidance for live output "to ensure they are fit for live streaming". The Tory MP added: "In summary, what is your personal assessment of what went wrong and what (are the) key lessons that the BBC will take away from the experience of live streaming Glastonbury 2025?" Dame Caroline said she hoped for Mr Davie's response to the questions within two weeks. Avon and Somerset Police said it had launched a probe into both the Bob Vylan and Kneecap performances after reviewing video footage and audio recordings, with a senior detective appointed to lead the investigation. A force spokesman said: "This has been recorded as a public order incident at this time while our inquiries are at an early stage. "The investigation will be evidence-led and will closely consider all appropriate legislation, including relating to hate crimes." In response to criticism of their performance on Tuesday, Bob Vylan said in a statement posted on Instagram that they were being "targeted for speaking up" and that "a good many people would have you believe a punk band is the number one threat to world peace." Article continues below The statement said: "We are not for the death of Jews, Arabs or any other race or group of people. "We are for the dismantling of a violent military machine. A machine whose own soldiers were told to use 'unnecessary lethal force' against innocent civilians waiting for aid. "A machine that has destroyed much of Gaza."

Jade shares hidden tribute to Oasis at Glastonbury despite Noel Gallagher feud
Jade Thirlwall isn't one to Look Back In Anger, with the former Little Mix singer still willing to take style inspiration from Noel Gallagher despite the Oasis rocker's nasty jibes Pop icon Jade Thirlwall has shown she isn't one to hold a grudge by revealing she took inspiration from the Gallagher brothers for her Glastonbury looks. The former Little Mix singer, 32, clashed with Oasis songwriter Noel Gallagher when the 58-year-old took aim at her band's achievements. But Jade, who had an iconic response to Noel's shady comments, isn't too stubborn to not appreciate the rocker's iconic style. In a new post, the X Factor winner - who rocked a green parka inspired co-ord on the Woodsie stage on Saturday - reveals Noel and his brother's infamous Brit pop style made her mood board when looking for inspiration for her Glastonbury look. At the start of this year, Jade reflected on the Wonderwall singer's brutal jibes about her band Little Mix from four years ago and disclosed how her boyfriend, Rizzle Kicks' Jordan Stephens, chose to confront Noel in person over the comments, only to be met with a foul-mouthed tirade. After Little Mix made history at The Brit Awards in May 2021, Noel felt obliged to voice his opinions on the Black Magic singers being the first all-female group to win the British Group award. The veteran rocker suggested that the award-winning girl band were "not in the same league as Oasis" and hinted their record-breaking victory indicated a problem within the music industry. During an episode of Never Mind the Buzzcocks the same year, Jade responded to the unsolicited criticism from the seasoned rocker with a hilarious retort. Speaking to Louis Theroux on his eponymous podcast, she delved deeper into her band's feud with the father-of-three. "Well, we're very different bands, so I'll give him that respect," the Angel of My Dreams singer conceded to the documentary maker. "We're very, you know, we're a pop girl band. Yeah. I don't know why he was comparing us, actually." Louis then speculated if Noel made the comment "for the clicks. " Jade playfully replied: "I think so," referring to Noel's love for confrontation. "I think he loves a little confrontation, doesn't he, that one. She then quipped: "You can't really argue with that, do you know what I mean? And I also kind of, um, love that I've ended up in some sort of tiff with one of the Gallaghers. I feel like, it's the same as getting a hate tweet from Azalea Banks." Jade then shared a story during Louis' Spotify podcast about an encounter her beau, Jordan, had with Noel at Glastonbury. Jade and the Rizzle Kicks frontman started their romance amid the Covid-19 lockdown in 2020. Her recount of that event was: "I seen him [Noel] at Glastonbury that year, actually," and detailed that Jordan confronted Noel saying, "I'm going to go over and say something. I was like, alright then, give it a go. They went over, I was like, you are really rude about my girlfriend. Do you want to apologize? He went, f*ck off! And I thought, do you know what? Fair play." Talking about the time back in 2021 when Jade addressed Noel's harsh words towards herself and her Little Mix bandmates Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock, she had a sharp retort on Never Mind the Buzzcocks. Referring to the incident, she recounted, "Noel did [slag us off]" while sitting on the panel of the comedy show's revival. Jade added insult to injury by recalling, "Something about that we were undeserving of the Brit Award because we're women and don't - well we do write music - but he thinks we don't write music. Well, we're very different bands, so I'll give him that to that respect." "Yeah, shame really," the award-winning singer adds. "Because you know, we are definitely the most successful girl group in the country, but he's not even the most successful performer in his family!"
