Lewis Capaldi will headline a pair of massive outdoor shows in the United Kingdom next summer.
Following AEG Presents’ announcement last Friday (Sept. 12) of Roundhay Festival, Capaldi will headline the inaugural event, set to take place July 4, 2026.
A week later, the Scottish singer-songwriter will top the bill at BST Hyde Park in London on July 11, joining Garth Brooks as a headliner.
Tickets for both shows will go on sale this Friday (Sept. 19) and 9 a.m. BST from the festival’s official website. Additional performers on both bills will be announced in due course.
BST Hyde Park takes place every summer at the central London park and attracts a wealth of huge names. Performers at the 2025 event included Sabrina Carpenter, Olivia Rodrigo, Neil Young and Stevie Wonder.
Capaldi is currently in the midst of a sold-out U.K. arena tour, the first since his comeback to the stage. The 28-year-old took time out from performing and recording due to his mental health, and returned as a live performer at Glastonbury Festival this June. “Survive,” his comeback single, shot straight to No. 1 on the U.K.’s Official Singles Chart upon release, and is one of his six leaders.
His signature song, “Someone You Loved,” was confirmed in November 2022 as the U.K.’s most streamed song of all time, overtaking Ed Sheeran’s “Shape Of You.”
Capaldi is a perfect two-from-two on the Official U.K. Albums Chart with 2019’s Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent (10 weeks) and 2023’s Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent (three weeks) both logging lengthy stints at No. 1.
Last week, AEG Presents shared news of the forthcoming Roundhay Festival, to be presented in Leeds, Yorkshire, in what is one of Europe’s largest city parks, spanning over 700 acres of woodlands, lakes and fields in the north-east of the city.
The venue has form for hosting large-scale music events. Over the years, the Rolling Stones (1982), Genesis (1987), Madonna (1987), Michael Jackson (1988), U2 (1997) and, most recently, Ed Sheeran (2019) have all played there.
