Jack Savoretti returns to Greece for a unique evening at Lycabettus Hill, bringing with him his new album “We Will Always Be The Way We Were”. A work that marks a deep reconnection with his musical roots, imprinted with authenticity and emotional power. The album is released on April 10th and opens a new, mature chapter in his career.
Ο Jack Savoretti has announced a major European tour, kicking off in Athens on September 25, 2026, with a live performance at Lycabettus Hill that is set to be one of the most special musical moments of the year. The tour will include 28 shows in 11 countries, including the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany and Italy, with the program concluding at Plymouth Pavilions on October 21.
Savoretti's appearance in Athens will be the opening point of this tour, symbolizing his connection with the Greek audience, who have particularly loved his melodic sound and emotional performances. He has stated many times that Greece is a place of inspiration for him, both for the beauty and the energy of its audience.
The album “We Will Always Be The Way We Were” is a bold return to his musical roots. Recorded at the historic Eastcote Studios in West London, where many of his early melodies were born, the album combines the simplicity of folk with the melancholy of soul and the cinematic dimension that characterizes his sound. Savoretti, returning to the neighborhood where he began writing music, collaborates again with his long-time band, creating a sound that exudes intimacy and warmth.
“We Will Always Be The Way We Were” is more than a musical release — it’s a personal statement. Savoretti is celebrating 20 years since his debut “Between the Minds,” and he chooses to look back, not with nostalgia, but with reflection and maturity. He explains that his new work reflects a time of inner peace and awareness, in which he feels like he’s returned to where he started — but with a new perspective.

The composition of the album was done in an almost "live" way, with most of it recorded simultaneously with the whole band, without corrections or editing. Savoretti wanted to capture the atmosphere of the moment, the magic that is born when musicians share the same breath, the same emotion. The sound is unpretentious, real, with a strong emotional charge and discreet production that gives space to the voice and the lyrics.
The album's title track, "We Will Always Be The Way We Were", has already been added to BBC Radio 2's A List. The track stands out for its melody and inner tension, while its live performance on the Graham Norton Show received warm reactions from audiences and critics. The song expresses the essence of the album: the attempt to keep something real, despite the ravages of time.
The album is accompanied by a touching cover, inspired by old cinema, reflecting the nostalgic mood of the record. Savoretti describes this work as “the album I always wanted to make, but didn’t have the courage to do it at the time.” After two decades of career, he now feels like he has found his voice, both literally and creatively.

Last year, Savoretti performed a series of sold-out shows, including a night at London’s Royal Albert Hall that sold out in less than an hour. Performances like these proved that his connection with the audience remains deep and sincere, with each concert becoming a personal experience for those in attendance.
His tour schedule this year will also include appearances at historic venues such as the Liverpool Philharmonic and De Montfort Hall, while a more intimate appearance at London’s Emerald Theatre is already scheduled as part of BRITs Week for War Child. All of these concerts pave the way for the release of his new album, which is expected to be one of the most important works of his career.
The pre-sale of tickets for the live at Lycabettus starts on January 29th at 12:00 via Highpriority.ticketmaster.gr, and demand is expected to be huge, as every time Savoretti returns to the stage. His fans are already waiting for the moment to see him perform his new songs under the Athens sky, in a setting full of light, emotion and musical magic.
Jack Savoretti, with his signature voice and emotional truth, returns more mature than ever, ready to remind us why his music touches so many souls. The night at Lycabettus will not be just a concert — it will be a return to the beginning, a musical journey full of memories, truth and light.
