Australian singer-songwriter Dean Lewis will release his third studio album this spring before headlining a national tour.
The 'Be Alright' and 'Waves' global superstar will headline concerts in Newcastle, Brisbane, Sydney, Hobart, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth from late October into November before jetting off for a world tour in 2025."Reaching this level in my career is beyond anything I ever imagined," admits Dean. "It's been my dream all along to perform at venues like these.
"It's hard to believe that I started out playing to 100 people in tiny venues, and now I'm headlining places like Rod Laver Arena, Wembley, Ziggo Dome and the Royal Arena.
"This truly feels like a dream come true. I can't wait for my fans around the world to experience my biggest and best shows yet."
'The Epilogue' will be Lewis' third studio album, which will be released 18 October (pre-order it); it was written during sessions in a Hollywood Hills house and in Hawaii in between a packed live schedule.
"My first album had a level of rawness," Lewis observes. "For the second, I was a little more cautious and pop-oriented, but the songs were meaningful to me.
"On this record, I started to get rawer and more acoustic again. I was trying to rekindle the simplicity of why things worked. I knew what I wanted to hear, so I embraced what made the first one special."
The 12-track 'The Epilogue' LP includes previous singles 'Trust Me Mate' and 'Memories' as well as the recently released single, the heartbreaking 'All I Ever Wanted', which was co-produced by Dean and production duo Afterhrs (Maroon 5, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson).
"I've learned a lot of lessons, and I know myself more, but I've retained the wonder and possibility of life," Dean shares. "When I wrote my debut, 'A Place We Knew', I had nothing, and I was living with my grandma.
"I'm in a much different place, yet I have the same youthful excitement. I'm calmer and more relaxed. I never lost the drive to make great music. This is my craft, my life, and my purpose. Before, I often felt like I didn't belong, but I'm surer of my place in the world today."
