Lewis Capaldi’s not just the king of heartbreak ballads — his sharp wit is half the reason fans adore him. Now he’s bringing both back down under, with an Australia and New Zealand tour locked in for November and December.

The Scottish pop star will play Christchurch, Auckland, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth. These will be his first shows here since Falls Festival 2019/20 and his Auckland Town Hall gig the same year. He’d teased the news on TikTok last month, telling fans to “stay tuned” and “keep a keen eye on social media.”

Capaldi made a triumphant return to Glastonbury last month, returning to the iconic festival’s stage two years after he last performed there in 2023. That set saw him lose his voice and battle pronounced tics brought on by Tourette’s syndrome, which he was diagnosed with in 2022. Soon after, Capaldi announced he would take a break from touring to focus on his mental and physical health.

But while the songs are sad, the man is hilarious, so to celebrate his return, here’s a reminder of some of his funniest interviews:
