LEWIS WATSON Tickets

After last week’s triumphant show at London’s Kings College, Oxford’s twenty-year-old musician Lewis Watson can now confirm that he’ll support Benjamin Francis Leftwich on his upcoming tour.

The duo are integral figures in a growing movement of talented young singer-songwriters such as Ben Howard and Jake Bugg.

Backed by almost 60,000 subscribers at YouTube where his videos have received 5.5 million views, Lewis Watson will follow the shows with Benjamin Francis Leftwich by embarking upon a new headline tour in which he performs at cities and towns which weren’t covered by his recent successful tour.

This summer will also see Lewis Watson perform at festivals including Bestival, Live at Leeds, Great Escape and Camp Bestival.

‘It Could Be Better’ features on Lewis Watson’s third EP ‘The Wild’ which shows how his sound has matured from stripped-down singer-songwriter material to a full band production which neatly contrasts delicate verses with an expansive hook.

Lewis Watson first came to prominence when his debut EP ‘It’s Got Four Sad Songs On It BTW’ topped the iTunes singer-songwriter chart on the first day of release, outselling the likes of Adele, Madonna and Ed Sheeran.

His second EP ‘Another Four Sad Songs’ continued his rise to prominence leading to multiple citings as one of their top tips for 2013.

His growing stardom has also seen him play gigs and achieve impressive chart positions in the States and Australia.
