Seven shows in seven days.

Leeds. Liverpool. Liverpool again. Marlborough. London. Brighton. Kingston.

And after seven shows in seven days, countless photos and videos, several train journeys, hotel rooms, and a huge quantity of Coke Zero (which my travel companions and I declared the official drink of the ‘Sweet Chaos’ Album Launch tour), I sat down to write about it all.

TOP Damian Lewis Moments 2025: Damian’s Mini-Tour of Ireland

Damian recently took to Instagram as above to reflect on his mini-tour of the Emerald Isle. And now that I reflect on my own week long trip to Ireland to follow Damian and the band from Cork to Dublin to Limerick, it was so many train rides, so many hotel rooms, so much gray skies, and so little sleep!

Damian’s mini-tour was packed with energy, good vibes, and those up-close moments that make live music so special. And it goes without saying that the Ireland tour was a TOP Damian Lewis Moment 2025.
