Lewis Capaldi will headline Live From Wythenshawe Park on Saturday night, performing to 35,000 people. The Scottish singer-songwriter, known for hits including 'Someone You Loved', 'Before You Go' and 'Hold Me While You Wait', will be supported by Quiet Man and Loyle Carner.
The show comes three years after Capaldi was forced to cancel his appearance at the venue, along with other tour dates, due to his mental and physical health. His break from music began in 2023 following an emotional performance at Glastonbury, where he struggled with his voice and experienced increased Tourette's syndrome tics.
Return to the stage
Capaldi returned to live performance in September 2025 with a sold-out UK arena tour, playing venues including The O2 Arena, Glasgow's Hydro and Manchester's Co-op Live Arena. This year he has played outdoor concerts in Dublin, Limerick, Cardiff, London and Liverpool, with a Belfast show on Thursday before heading to Manchester.
The Wythenshawe Park gig is the second in the Live From Wythenshawe Park series, now in its fourth year. Other acts on this year's bill include The Cure, Pulp, Courteeners and Prodigy, following previous performances from Noel Gallagher, New Order, Blossoms, Fontaines D.C. and Sam Fender.
