Damian Lewis - Sweet Chaos UK Tour

Damian Lewis brings his Sweet Chaos UK tour to The Drill on Friday 30 October, with Jackson Carter supporting. It's one of the dates on a run that takes him across England and Scotland, and he's open to a broad crowd — TV, movie and music fans alike.

Lewis has been playing guitar since he was thirteen, starting on classical before switching to steel-string acoustic and singing Elvis in the mirror. He spent his early twenties busking across London and continental Europe, and only returned to the instrument during the COVID-19 lockdowns. That's when he teamed up with jazz musician Giacomo Smith, who introduced him to a group of London musicians from Kansas Smitty's House Band. His debut album, Mission Creep, came out on 16 June 2023.

Sweet Chaos is the follow-up, produced by his publishing company Thin Red Duke and distributed by Kartel Music Group. He recorded it in West London with producer Guy Chambers, alongside Dave Archer on guitar and Will Cleasby on drums. It's more expansive and dynamic than the first, and the partnership with Chambers helped reshape the project after earlier sessions had stalled. The tour is built around that newer material, though he'll be drawing from his debut too.

Doors open at 19:00 at The Drill, Free School Lane, LN2 1EY. Standing tickets are £33.00 including fees.
