The most-streamed classical artist of all time, Ludovico Einaudi returned last year with his first new solo piano album in 20 years, Underwater, a collection of 12 newly-composed solo piano tracks. Einaudi announces a run of UK arena dates in October. All shows will be performed with his live band.

Einaudi says of the shows: ‘While I enjoy the period of contemplation, learning, inspiration and hard work that goes into the composing and recording process, it is in the live arena in communion with the audience that my work really comes alive.’

The release of Underwater followed some astounding achievements for Einaudi with the release of soundtracks to Oscar, BAFTA, and Golden Globe-winning films Nomadland and The Father (which include tracks from his chart-topping 2019 release ‘Seven Days Walking’), and the compilation album ‘Cinema’, featuring his composition achievements in film and TV.

Einaudi has quietly become one of the most successful musicians in the world. His hauntingly beautiful and evocative music tops the classical charts worldwide, particularly here in the UK and in his home country Italy. He has performed to huge crowds at the world’s most prestigious venues; in 2022 alone he sold out three nights at Eventim Apollo followed by three nights at the Royal Albert Hall.

Opening for Ludovico Einaudi is Sam Lee. Since he was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize with his first album, Sam Lee has taken a world of old songs and given them a sharp new focus. He’s an acclaimed, award-winning inventive singer, folksong collector, conservationist and founder/director of The Nest Collective who’ve helped shake up the music scene and injected life back into the folk trad and world acoustic scenes. He's received rave reviews for his first book The Nightingale, published by Penguin.
