Global superstar, Dean Lewis has today announced his hotly anticipated third studio album The Epilogue will be released Friday October 18 and shared dates to his global album tour. The Epilogue Tour comes to the UK in February 2025, starting at O2 Guildhall Southampton (Wednesday 5th). He will then play Eventim Hammersmith Apollo, London (Friday 7th) and OVO Wembley Arena, London (Saturday 8th) SOLD OUT, before taking the tour to Utilita Arena Cardiff (Sunday 9th), O2 Academy Birmingham (Tuesday 11th), Academy Glasgow (Friday 14th) and finishing at O2 Victoria Warehouse Manchester (Saturday 15th).

An epilogue follows the final chapter of a story. Rather than close the book once and for all, it alludes to what the future may hold for the characters. 

Following unprecedented worldwide success, critical acclaim, and sold-out tours, Dean continues to write and perform with unmatched vulnerability, vibrancy, and vitality. As such, The Epilogue, represents both the culmination of an incredible journey thus far and a harbinger for where he may go next.

In between a packed live schedule, Dean penned music for The Epilogue during sessions in a Hollywood Hills house and in Hawaii. Harnessing a renewed state of inspiration, the troubadour tapped into the spirit of his earliest material from a fresh perspective honed by six more years of experience.

“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.”

Available to pre-order and pre-save today, the 12-track The Epilogue LP includes his previous singles ‘Trust Me Mate’ and ‘Memories’ as well as the recently released single ‘All I Ever Wanted’. The heartbreaking new single with lightly plucked acoustic guitar and soft strings accompanying Dean’s delicate delivery, was written and recorded in Los Angeles and co-produced by Dean and acclaimed duo Afterhrs (Maroon 5, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson). 

Since its release a fortnight ago, the song has already been added to KIIS, Hit Network (Fox, B105, SAFM) and Nova Networks as well as streamed over 2.1 million times globally.

“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.”

Since his emergence in 2017, Dean Lewis has gathered over 13 billion streams and dozens of multi-platinum, platinum, and gold certifications worldwide. Dean’s 2019 platinum-certified debut, A Place We Knew, housed the hits “Waves” and “Be Alright”—which also reached rarified air as a member of the Spotify “Billions Club.” He has picked up 3 ARIA Awards and 7 APRA Awards. Moreover, he has amassed a cumulative social media following of nearly 7 million fans. Not to mention, collaborated with everyone from Kygo, Martin Garrix, and Tiësto to Ruth B. and Julia Michaels. On the road, he’s enraptured audiences at packed headline shows in addition to touring with AJR and James Arthur. Speaking to his impact, he regularly averages north of 17 million monthly listeners on Spotify and has consistently soared as one of the “Top 5 Most Viewed AU Artists on TikTok.” During 2022, Lewis unveiled his sophomore effort The Hardest Love to critical acclaim. EUPHORIA. hailed it as “an emotionally rich record,” and Atwood Magazine raved, “His gut-wrenching and powerful storytelling has captivated hearts, and now he’s coming back with a bang.” 

In the end, The Epilogue is the start of the best chapter of Dean’s story.
