Lewis has hired Kylie Minogue's creative director William Baker to mastermind the stage show, which will take place a day ahead of the single's release on September 4.

'Collide' is the first song to be lifted from Lewis's forthcoming third studio album GlassHeart, which is expected to be released in November.
