Damian Lewis adds Glasgow and Edinburgh dates to Sweet Chaos UK Tour 2026

has added Scottish dates to his , announcing on Instagram that he will play La Belle Angele in Edinburgh on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, and Òran Mór in Glasgow on Thursday, October 22, 2026.

Lewis shared the news directly with fans on his Instagram feed, saying he was "quietly tickled" to tell people the tour is coming this October and that he hoped they could "come out for the night." The post underlined a run that the actor and musician summarized as taking him "from Edinburgh to Portsmouth" and invited followers to join him onstage.

Tickets for the dates will be available through, with a pre-sale opening on Thursday, May 28 at 10am and general sale following on Friday, May 29 at 10am. Fans are being directed to the official ticketing site for both the Edinburgh and Glasgow shows.

The announcement ties directly to Lewis's album Sweet Chaos and the tour that bears its name. Lewis — best known to television audiences as the star of Homeland and Billions — has framed the run as the Sweet Chaos UK Tour 2026, bringing his music to a string of venues this autumn.

That mix of acting fame and a growing music profile is core to the story here: Lewis's celebrity gives the dates immediate visibility, but the choice of venues in Edinburgh and Glasgow signals an up-close, live-music approach rather than arena-scale spectacle. For Scottish fans, the two dates are concrete chances to see him perform in compact cultural venues rather than at a large stadium.

The friction in the plan will be logistical. Lewis's name carries cross-Atlantic recognition, and an actor-turned-singer playing intimate rooms can quickly overwhelm local ticketing systems and venue capacities. The pre-sale and the decision to route sales through a single national seller are moves to manage that risk, but they also compress demand into narrow buying windows: pre-sale at 10am on May 28, general sale at 10am on May 29.

For anyone weighing whether to try for tickets, the simplest fact is this: the chance to see Lewis in person in Edinburgh or Glasgow exists for two nights only, and the official pathway is on the two sale dates. If Lewis's Instagram invitation — a casual, cheerfully phrased ask that he hopes people will "come out for the night" — is answered in force, those rooms will tell the story faster than any critic.

Whether the Sweet Chaos UK Tour 2026 becomes a wider musical pivot for Lewis or a celebrated side project will be decided on those stages. For now, he has put the dates on the calendar and asked fans to show up; anyone who wants to answer that invitation should be ready when pre-sale begins at 10am on Thursday, May 28, and when general sale opens at 10am on Friday, May 29, at.
