Lewis Capaldi Unveils Soul-Stirring New Single ‘Something In The Heavens’ And Announces Massive 2026 Outdoor Shows

by | Sep 19, 2025

After a two-year break from the spotlight, Lewis Capaldi is back with a vengeance. Fresh off a triumphant return to the stage and a record-breaking new single, the Scottish star has unveiled his latest heart-wrenching anthem, Something In The Heavens, alongside news of his biggest-ever UK and Irish outdoor headline shows set for summer 2026.

The track, written with Connor and Riley McDonough, sees Capaldi doing what he does best: reaching straight for the jugular with unflinching honesty. “I’ll love you til my last breath, you’re gone but something in the heavens tells me that we’ll be together again,” he sings, his voice cracking under the weight of loss yet shot through with hope. Its accompanying live performance video, filmed at Abbey Road and directed by Huse Monfaradi (Arctic Monkeys, Michael Kiwanuka), captures the song’s aching intimacy in real time.

The single arrives as Capaldi continues his sold-out 17-date UK arena tour, his first in over two years. Fans have already been belting out Something In The Heavens word-for-word at shows in Sheffield, Glasgow, and London, proof of the extraordinary bond he commands.

Capaldi’s comeback was supercharged earlier this year with Survive, his sixth UK Number 1 single and the fastest-selling single of 2025, outselling both Sabrina Carpenter and Lady Gaga in its opening week. The track cemented his place among the likes of Beyoncé, Britney Spears, and Queen in the elite club of artists to notch up six chart-toppers. Its Glastonbury Pyramid Stage debut became one of the festival’s defining moments: half an hour of catharsis, capped by a stirring mass singalong of Someone You Loved.

Now, Capaldi has his eyes set on the summer of 2026 with his largest headline shows to date, including a landmark slot at BST Hyde Park on Saturday 11th July alongside a 4th July headline slot at the inaugural Roundhay Festival at Leeds’ Roundhay Park. The run kicks off at Dublin’s Marlay Park on 24th June and takes in Cardiff, Leeds, Belfast, Manchester, and two massive nights at Exeter’s Powderham Castle, with multiple dates already sold out.

Capaldi’s resurgence is all the more powerful given his decision in 2023 to step back from touring to focus on his mental health. His cautious re-entry via intimate charity warm-ups earlier this year quickly snowballed into a sold-out arena run, his voice stronger than ever and his connection with fans deeper still.

It’s a comeback story few could match, but then again, Lewis Capaldi has always thrived on finding light in the darkest corners. With Something In The Heavens, he once again proves why he’s one of the defining voices of his generation.

Garbage Celebrate Three Decades Of Defiance At London’s Roundhouse

Thirty years into a career built on challenging convention, Garbage arrive at London’s Roundhouse looking anything but content to trade on nostalgia. Despite three decades of touring the capital, tonight marks the band’s first appearance at the iconic Camden venue, and from the moment Shirley Manson, Duke Erikson, Steve Marker, Butch Vig and touring bassist Nicole Fiorentino step onto the stage, they perform with the urgency of a band still determined to push forwards rather than look back.

Full Circle At O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire: Lifehouse Return To London In Intimate Acoustic Triumph

There are gigs that simply entertain, and then there are gigs that transport you. Lifehouse’s long-overdue return to London at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire is very much the latter. Eleven years since their last visit to the capital, Jason Wade and longtime guitarist Steve Stout strip everything back for the second of two London acoustic shows—following the previous evening’s performance at nearby Bush Hall—and in doing so remind a packed Shepherd’s Bush Empire exactly why these songs have endured for a quarter of a century.

It was yet another warm, sunny London day, the start of the country’s next heatwave, as thousands descended on Hyde Park for the final day of the second BST Hyde Park weekend of 2026. There was another event looming over the evening too: England’s World Cup Round of 16 clash with Mexico, kicking off at the decidedly unsociable hour of 1am. Football could wait though. Sunday belonged to disco legends, glam-pop icons and one of Britain’s most enduring bands as Duran Duran headlined a day that effortlessly balanced nostalgia with timeless musicianship.
