Lewis Capaldi is coming to New Zealand
After two years out of the spotlight and then a surprise Galstonbury performance, the British musician is now bound for NZ at the end of 2025.
Scottish musician Lewis Capaldi has returned from a two year hiatus with a surprise Glastonbury gig and has now added a New Zealand tour to his calendar.
Capaldi will play two shows at the end of this year - the first at Christchurch's Wolfbrook Arena on Sunday 30 November and a second at Auckland's Spark Arena on 2 December.
The last time Capaldi played in New Zealand was 2019, delivering a performance at Auckland Town Hall. In 2023, the 28-year-old cancelled his scheduled tour, which included shows in Wellington and Auckland, to prioritise his health.

Last month, he debuted new single 'Survive' to a packed Pyramid Stage crowd at Glastonbury Festival.
Capaldi's two-year career hiatus begun after his emotional Glastonbury 2023 set, where he experienced a bout of tics caused by his Tourette's syndrome and struggled to finish his set, with the audience singing his hit song 'Someone You Loved' when he could not.
"The truth is, I'm still learning to adjust to the impact of my Tourette's and on Saturday it became obvious that I need to spend much more time getting my mental and physical health in order, so I can keep doing everything I love for a long time to come," he told fans last month.
"I'm not going to say much up here today, because if I do I think I'll probably start crying.
"It's just a short set today but I just wanted to come and finish what I couldn't finish first time around on this stage."
The Glastonbury performance came off the back of a run of Scottish warm up shows in May.
He announced in September 2022 he had been diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome, and spoke candidly in Netflix documentary Lewis Capaldi: How I'm Feeling Now about his struggle with mental health.
Fans who had purchased tickets to Capaldi's cancelled 2023 tour will receive an email from Secret Sounds to gain access to pre-sale tickets from 10 July.
Further ticket sales will open Monday 14 July at midday.
