Is Lewis Capaldi going on tour in 2026?

Yes. Lewis Capaldi has announced a full 2026 summer tour that includes three Irish outdoor shows, according to music industry publications covering the announcement (GoldenPlec, JamBase concert listings). The tour is described as his “biggest tour” to date by JamBase concert listings. The US leg kicks off at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Denver on 28–29 April 2026, with Ireland dates bookending the summer before the tour closes at Wythenshawe Park in Manchester on 22 August.

Announced dates

The confirmed Ireland run includes:

  • Marlay Park, Dublin — 23 and 24 June 2026
  • Thomond Park, Limerick — 26 June 2026
  • Boucher Road, Belfast — 20 August 2026

UK and Ireland stops

Beyond Ireland, the 2026 tour covers multiple UK stadiums, making it a significantly larger production than Capaldi’s previous tours. Pollstar live music news reports the tour closes at Wythenshawe Park, Manchester on 22 August 2026.

The upshot

Lewis Capaldi is committing to his largest live run yet — three Ireland dates in five days, then straight into a full UK stadium tour.

Where is Lewis Capaldi playing in Dublin in 2026?

Lewis Capaldi will play two nights at Marlay Park in Dublin on 23 and 24 June 2026. The official site lists both dates, though 24 June is already marked sold out as of the announcement (Lewis Capaldi official site). Marlay Park is a 40,000-capacity venue in Rathfarnham that has hosted major international acts each summer.

Marlay Park details

Marlay Park has become a staple for outdoor summer concerts in Dublin, with its flat grassy setting suited to large crowds. Tickets are priced from €81.10, available via Ticketmaster.ie. GoldenPlec confirms the promoter is listed as MCD.ie, the company behind most major Irish outdoor concerts.

Dates and capacity

The two-night run at Marlay Park is unusual — most artists opt for a single date at the venue. With June 24 already sold out, demand clearly outstripped supply for Capaldi’s Dublin return. Fans looking to attend on 23 June should act quickly when tickets become available.

Why this matters

The June 24 sell-out suggests pent-up demand: Capaldi hasn’t done a major Irish outdoor run since 2022, and the announcement of two Dublin dates indicates promoter confidence in that appetite.

Is Lewis Capaldi coming to Ireland?

Yes — and not just Dublin. The 2026 announcement covers three Irish shows across two jurisdictions: a two-night Dublin stand, a Limerick stadium date, and a Belfast outdoor show (GoldenPlec music publication). The Limerick show is already sold out per the official site.

Ireland tour stops

The three Irish dates are:

  • Dublin — Marlay Park: 23 June (limited availability), 24 June (sold out)
  • Limerick — Thomond Park: 26 June (sold out per official site)
  • Belfast — Boucher Road: 20 August (on sale soon)

Limerick and Belfast

Thomond Park in Limerick is a rugby stadium with a capacity exceeding 25,000 — significantly larger than Marlay Park. Its sell-out status indicates strong regional demand. The Belfast date on Boucher Road is confirmed for 20 August, though the official site hadn’t listed it at time of the GoldenPlec reporting. GoldenPlec attributes the Belfast event to Belfast Vital.

The catch

Two of the three Irish dates (24 June Dublin and 26 June Limerick) are already sold out. For fans still hoping to attend, 23 June Dublin and the Belfast show on 20 August are the remaining options.

Is Lewis Capaldi going to perform again?

Yes. After cancelling several dates on his 2022–2023 tour citing mental health concerns, Capaldi has confirmed his return with a full 2026 schedule. The announcement marks his comeback to major live touring, with a production described as his biggest to date. His official site now displays all confirmed 2026 dates, including the Ireland leg.

Post-hiatus return

Capaldi last toured extensively in 2022, when he cancelled multiple shows amid well-publicized struggles with stage anxiety. The 2026 announcement represents a full return to touring, with a significantly larger UK/Ireland production than his previous runs.

2026 schedule

The 2026 itinerary opens at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Denver (28–29 April 2026), then heads to the UK and Ireland for the summer stadium run. With the Manchester closing date confirmed as 22 August (Pollstar live music news), the full tour spans roughly four months.

Bottom line: Lewis Capaldi is back with his biggest tour yet — three Ireland dates in summer 2026, two already sold out. Concert-goers in Dublin should grab remaining 23 June tickets fast; Belfast and UK fans have slightly more breathing room.

When is Lewis Capaldi presale in Ireland?

The presale for Irish shows opened on 18 September 2025 at 9am, with general sale following on 19 September 2025 at 9am, according to GoldenPlec. Access is via Ticketmaster.ie, with Ireland-specific presale codes required for early access.

Presale access

To access the presale, fans need a Ticketmaster.ie account and an Ireland-specific presale code. The presale window is short — just one hour — so logging in before 9am on the presale date is advisable. Those without codes can purchase during general sale the following day.

Ticketmaster info

Tickets range from €81.10 to €91.10 across all venues. Pollstar concert industry coverage and JamBase tour listings both confirm the pricing and sale dates. All three Irish shows are listed on Ticketmaster.ie.

What to watch

With 24 June Dublin and 26 June Limerick already sold out, secondary market prices are likely to rise significantly. Fans who missed presale should still check Ticketmaster.ie for any released hold tickets before resorting to resale platforms.
