For two years it was quiet about the Scottish singer-songwriter, now he is back in public. Lewis Capaldi entered the Pyramid Stage at the Glastonbury Festival on Friday evening (June 27th). This is exactly where the musician had said goodbye to his fans in 2023 and visibly exhausted.
“Glastonbury, it’s so nice to be back,” Capaldi visibly greeted his audience. The announcement of his appearance was kept secret until the end. When his name was read on the video walls at 4:55 p.m., thousands had already gathered in front of the main stage. For Capaldi it was a triumphal moment after an intensive time of self -care and healing.

It was particularly emotional at the song “Someone You Loved”. Lewis Capaldi in 2023 could no longer end the song alone due to his Tourette syndrome and strong exhaustion. At that time, the fans sang in front of the stage – as well as his comeback, but the circumstances have changed.
“I couldn’t sing this song two years ago. Today I could have difficulty to end it for other reasons,” he said with tears in his eyes.
Lewis Capaldi also had his brand new single “survive” in his luggage, which he had released on the performance day. A powerful anthem of overcoming darkness, pain and inner struggle. “The past three years have been hard. I wanted to write a song that is hope,” said Capaldi.
Finally, he called into the crowd: “My name is Lewis Capaldi – and I’m damn back, baby!” On Instagram he later wrote: “It is so incredible to be back, thank you for taking me in.”
