Lewis Capaldi has announced his first ever arena tour – and he’s taking special consideration for fans who battle anxiety at concerts.
The 22-year-old will head out on a string of arena dates in March 2020, with dates confirmed in Glasgow, Manchester, Cardiff and Dublin before he concludes with a massive show at London’s SSE Arena Wembley.
The shows will also see him launching the LIVELIVE campaign, offering support for fans who are battling anxiety and mental health issues. The shows will provide an “escape space” for fans who feel like they’re in need of respite.
Lewis told nme: “I always get tonnes of messages from people online who have said they want to come to my shows but can’t because they’re struggling massively with anxiety or are just generally afraid they will have a panic attack during the show.”
He added: “I really wanted to put something in place to help those people feel comfortable and offer them support to allow them to experience the shows.’
“I just hate to feel that anyone’s anxiety is making them miss out on anything they want to do and LIVELIVE is my attempt at helping make these shows enjoyable for as many of those people who have been supporting this journey for me!”
