Lewis Capaldi’s debut in Portugal as a solo artist comes eight years after he opened for Sam Smith in Lisbon in May 2018, even before releasing the single “Someone You Loved” in November of that year, which became the most streamed song of all time in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n
According to the promoter MOT \u2013 Memories of Tomorrow, the 29-year-old musician will give an \u201cexclusive sunset concert\u201d on the beach of Figueira da Foz, on the coast of the Coimbra district, the day after the sold-out show by fellow British artist Sting.<\/p>\n
MOT said that the two concerts, promoted in partnership with Live Nation, \u201creinforce the status of the city\u201d in the Central region \u201cas one of the leading musical destinations in Portugal\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe managed to find a destination in Portugal capable of hosting major events, outside the major centres. And that destination, Figueira da Foz, is being very well regarded abroad by artists, for what differentiates it: a beach, by the sea, in Central Portugal, is a great added value,\u201d argued Tiago Castelo Branco, general director of MOT.<\/p>\n
\u201cDivinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent,\u201d his first album of original material, \u201ccatapulted Lewis Capaldi from bedroom musician to global phenomenon\u201d in 2019, becoming the best-selling album in the UK that year and in 2020, the promoter highlighted.<\/p>\n
According to MOT, in addition to \u201cSomeone You Loved,\u201d hits like \u201cBefore You Go,\u201d \u201cHold Me While You Wait,\u201d \u201cForget Me,\u201d and \u201cWish You the Best\u201d reached the top of the charts \u201cin more than 30 countries and today total more than 30 billion streams worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n
