Yusuf/Cat Stevens has today announced a UK, Irish and North American book tour, titled Cat On The Road To Findout - An Evening Of Tales, Tunes And Other Mysteries taking place through September and October. The tour, which accompanies the release of Yusuf’s long-awaited memoir, Cat On The Road To Findout, comes to the 3Olympia Theatre on 18th September 2025. 

Launching in Ireland on 18th September, the new autobiography is an extraordinary soul-baring journey through the triumphs, trials, and transcendental quest of one of music’s most enigmatic figures of our time.

Each night, Stevens will host an in-depth conversation about his new memoir, which chronicles his evolution from chart-topping pop star to spiritual seeker. The evening will also feature select acoustic performances of songs that have defined generations, offering an up-close journey through the life and music of one of our most beloved artists.

Following on from the formula of Yusuf’s momentous ‘A Cat’s Attic’ tour, Cat On The Road To Findout - An Evening Of Tales, Tunes And Other Mysteries is an intimate night where stories, songs, and secrets intertwine. More than a performance, it’s a portal into Yusuf/Cat Stevens’ universe: personal illustrations and photographs, flickering film, and treasured artifacts pull the audience deeper into his journey, while live and recorded music and candid tales illuminate the man behind the myth. A rare chance to see Yusuf/Cat Stevens on stage, the book tour is his first Irish date for five years.

Speaking about the book tour, Yusuf/Cat Stevens says: “Having passed through the exhaustingly complex maze of everyday material life, ascending the dizzying heights of wealth, recognition and artistic achievements, I think I’ve got a few things to share. Keeping an open mind was part of the nature I instinctively maintained as a creative songwriter. Nothing was off-bounds. Music was a way of discovering my purpose within the universe. I just kept on exploring, reading and learning more, ignoring myths and warnings and crossing dangerous-looking bridges into the vast ranges of philosophies and through the veils of the spiritual unknown.

Now I have written a book which explains what I’ve learned and the stories along the way. That doesn’t make me a teacher, but more of a potential specimen for those who are searching and pursuing happiness on all sides of the divide. Believe me, folks, it’s out there!” 

More than a memoir, Cat On The Road To Findout is a backstage pass to the mind of a man who has lived a thousand lives. Missing from the public narrative has been the intimate story of his deeply emotive transformation – until now. The book finally reveals the curious complexity and intellectual reasoning behind his navigation through life – a voyage which has now culminated in his return to music and art, to share his lessons of life with those seekers, dreamers, and believers, who still love and admire him. He remains true to the optimistic message of his melodic peace train.

 

Cat On The Road To Findout is illustrated with dozens of drawings in Yusuf’s own hand and archival imagery, self-penned with raw honesty and poetic insight. It will be published in hardback, ebook and audiobook format (narrated by the author), by Constable in the UK and Commonwealth on 18th September 2025, and by Genesis Publications in North America on 7th October 2025.
