22 Jun
Summary
- Lewis Capaldi announced more music is coming after summer shows.
- He plans to step away from touring to focus on writing.
- Capaldi is feeling better after past mental health struggles.
Lewis Capaldi has indicated that a new album is in the works. During his headlining performance at TRNSMT Festival in Glasgow on Sunday, June 21, 2026, he shared his plans to step away from touring after his current summer engagements to focus on writing. This announcement comes after a period where Capaldi struggled with his mental and physical health, which led to a hiatus from public performance.
Capaldi candidly spoke about his past difficulties, stating his mental health "took a beating" but expressed that he is now "back" and "feeling better." His return to the stage has been significant for fans, especially recalling his 2023 Glastonbury performance where the crowd assisted him due to tics associated with Tourette's syndrome. Since then, he has eased back into public life, including a surprise Glastonbury appearance and the release of new music.
His upcoming album will follow a successful period, with his song "Someone You Loved" previously topping the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks in 2019 and earning a Grammy nomination. Capaldi is scheduled for several more summer shows, with this latest comment marking a clear intention to develop a new full-length project.
