Admission will be via e-ticket. Your e-ticket will be delivered to your email address in time for the show (typically the day before the event).To celebrate the release of the new album, Damian Lewis visit Kingston to play a short acoustic set paired with a conversation at St John's Church.
Globally recognised and now firmly established as a compelling recording artist, Damian Lewis returns with Sweet Chaos, a powerful follow-up to his acclaimed 2023 debut Mission Creep, blending blues-rock, indie rock, and soulful pop with cinematic storytelling and raw emotional intensity.
Recorded in West London with renowned producer Guy Chambers (Robbie Williams), alongside collaborators Dave Archer (guitar) and Will Cleasby (drums), the album captures a more expansive and dynamic sound. From the brooding, blues- infused opener "No Man's Land" to the swaggering pop-funk storytelling of "Pentonville Prison" and the anthemic pull of "Traffic Jam," Sweet Chaos explores themes of love, loss, frustration, and release. Highlights include "Leech," a sharp indie- rock critique of media intrusion, the haunting and intimate "Question Mark," and the electrifying closing track "Fix Me Up," featuring Alison Mosshart of The Kills.
Written in the years following profound personal loss, Sweet Chaos marks a shift from the tenderness of Lewis's debut to something more urgent, restless, and at times confrontational. There is anger here, but also warmth, humour, and moments of uplift - particularly in tracks like the spirited "Advent" and the expansive, reflective "King." With vivid lyricism and a distinctive vocal delivery, Lewis leans into storytelling that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant.Reimagined and rebuilt in the studio with a more contemporary approach, the album reflects Lewis's continued evolution as a songwriter and performer.
Inspired by the energy of live performance, Sweet Chaos feels immediate and immersive - an album that embraces unpredictability and transformation, where moments of upheaval give way to something unexpectedly powerful.
