After taking a year off touring, like most other performers, LEWIS CAPALDI is eager to get back out on the road. His new album is all finished, the follow up to the record-breaking debut ‘Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent’ and no doubt we’ll get to hear tracks from it when he gets to Alexandra Head in Cardiff Bay this summer.
The date is Wednesday 20th July as part of The Bay series. Tickets aren’t on sale just yet, but when they are (Friday at 10am), we know they’re going to fly. This could be the best place to get them, along with tickets fo his other dates, which are already selling fast – LEWIS CAPALDI.

Lewis took to Instagram when he made the decision to reluctantly pull out of the live shows last year, he did promise that he would be back, with a new album under his belt.
“Hello everyone, it’s Lewis Capaldi here. It’s been a while, hope you’re all staying safe!
“Just want to start off this wee note by saying how class it is to see things looking more hopeful for the world after an absolutely horrible year. I’ve been looking back at the madness of my life for the last little while and feeling really grateful to be able to call this music carry on a job for the past few years.
“I’d be lying if I said I haven’t been terrified about making my next album since the moment I finished ‘Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent’.
“I’ve been writing loads of tunes I’m really excited about and I can’t wait for you to hear them. I really want to make sure whatever I put out next is the absolute best it can be, partly for my own sanity, cause I’m going to have to sing these songs every night for the next few years on tour, but ultimately for all of you who made the first album everything it was.
“Despite having all this extra time to write, all the COVID restrictions have made it harder to go and record stuff I’ve been working on or even be around all the people I loved working with on the first album.
“For that reason, it is with an extremely heavy heart that I’ve made the difficult decision to reschedule this year’s shows and put all my effort into making the best album I can for you.
“I hate the thought of letting anyone down, especially after the year we’ve just had but I know that, more than anything, getting the album right has to be my number one priority at the moment. I hope you understand.
“I’m really sorry I won’t be out there with you this year, but I’ll be back in 2022 with new music and a shit load of shows in as many places as I can possibly get to across the world.”
And true to his word, Lewis has a load of dates in the diary for later this year, including one in his home town of Glasgow. The one we’re waiting for is on Wednesday 20th July. Tickets go on sale this Friday at 10am, and you can get them (and for the other dates) HERE.
