“I am truly excited to return to the UK and Ireland next year,” Bocelli said. “This year has been a particularly special one for me, as I celebrated the 30th anniversary of my career with some unforgettable performances, such as Hyde Park. The energy and warmth I felt there were incredible, and it left such a lasting impression that I knew I had to come back.
“I can’t wait to share more beautiful moments with my fans, and I know these upcoming concerts will be just as magical and memorable.”
