Live Nation & Secret Sounds have today announced that Scottish singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi will return to New Zealand for the first time since 2020, performing in Auckland on July 18 and Wellington on July 19.

Tickets for all shows go on sale at 10am, Friday October 28, through livenation.co.nz.

American Express Card Members can secure tickets during the presale beginning 10am, Tuesday October 25.

My Live Nation members can secure tickets during the presale beginning at 9am, Thursday October 27.

The news comes as Capaldi announces that his new album Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent will be released in 19 May 2023 on EMI Records. Capaldi’s highly anticipated New Zealand shows will be his first performances in Aotearoa since his last tour in early 2020. His 2023 tour will see him arrive with a host of new songs to perform from the new album, alongside crowd favourites.

Capaldi made his eagerly awaited return in September with new single Forget Me, marking his third consecutive UK No. 1 hit and giving fans a taste of new music to come. The new record will follow his 2019 full-length debut, Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent — which peaked at #3 on the Official New Zealand Top 40 Albums and featured the hit singles Someone You Loved and Before You Go.

An auspicious start to the next phase of his career, Forget Me amassed over two million streams within 24 hours of its premiere and is now approaching 100 million streams globally, in addition to making Capaldi only the third artist this year to land a single at the No. 1 spot on the UK charts in its first week. Forget Me was shortly followed by a true spectacle of a music video that saw Lewis re-enact Wham’s 1983 hit Club Tropicana shot-for-shot.

Capaldi’s debut album Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent sold over 10 million copies worldwide, propelling him from bedroom musician to superstar. The record’s platinum-selling single Someone You Loved earned a GRAMMY nomination for Song of the Year, won the Song of the Year prize at the Brit Awards, and reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and US Top 40 charts.

Known for his down to earth attitude and sense of humour, Lewis Capaldi can be expected to charm fans across his live shows in July. With his last tour selling out in record time, fans are encouraged to jump on tickets quickly when they go on sale from 10am local Friday October 28.
