Open Air Theatre, Thursday August 11
It has been a whirlwind three years for two-time BRIT Award winner Lewis that has seen him top the charts around the world and sell out arena tours. Someone You Loved has become a global anthem and is today the longest-running top 10 UK single of all time by a British artist.
Lewis’ sensational debut album, Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent – which includes the hits Before You Go, Grace, Hollywood and Bruises – was the top-selling album of 2019 and 2020. He will be joined by special guests Wild Youth and Áine Deane when he returns this summer.
