The live shows mark his first tour dates since he was forced to cut his Glastonbury 2023 set short after struggling with tics caused by Tourette’s. He later announced he was planning to take some time off to focus on his health.

He kicked off his grand return this June, when he surprise-released his comeback single ‘Survive’, and later that day played a surprise set at the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury, completing his performance from two years ago.

Since then, ‘Survive’ has become his sixth UK Number One single, and become the fastest selling single of 2025 so far – surpassing both Sabrina Carpenter and Lady Gaga.

Since coming back from his hiatus, Capaldi has also teamed up with BetterHelp to provide 734,000 hours of free online therapy, saying: “Therapy is the reason why I am able to be a musician again”, and played some warm up shows in May in celebration of Mental Health Awareness Week.

His last full album was ‘Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent’, which became his second UK Number One album and contained chart-topping singles ‘Pointless’, ‘Wish You The Best’ and ‘Forget Me’.
