ReutersLewis Capaldi is to perform in Birmingham on his upcoming tour following an emotional comeback at the Glastonbury Festival.
The Scottish singer took two years away from the spotlight to focus on his mental health, returning to the festival’s Pyramid Stage for a surprise set on 27 June.
Capaldi has now announced he will embark on a 10-date tour of the UK and Ireland, with a show at Birmingham’s Utilita Arena on 23 September.
The 28-year-old said the arena shows, which also include dates in London and Manchester, would be the only ones he will play in Europe this year.
Announcing the shows, Capaldi wrote on his social media: “About time I got back to work… hope to see you out there.”
He will kick off his tour in Sheffield on 7 September, before shows in cities such Aberdeen, Nottingham and Cardiff and a final show in Dublin on 29 September.
Capaldi, who has Tourette’s, last performed at Glastonbury in 2023, where he lost his voice and struggled to finish his set, with the audience stepping in to help him finish his final song.
He later announced he was taking a break from the spotlight to get his “physical and mental health in order” and to “adjust to the impact” of his Tourette’s diagnosis.
“Glastonbury, it’s so good to be back,” Capaldi said at the festival on Friday. “I’m not going to say much up here today because if I did I might start crying.”
