Franz Ferdinand bring out legendary actor at Glastonbury
The Glasgow band took to the Other Stage on Friday afternoon and announced they were going to bring out a special guest. Lead singer Alex Kapranos teased the audience, telling the crowd they would be bringing out an "Italian heritage Glaswegian that goes by the name of Capaldi." The crowd went wild as rumours had been flying around about Lewis Capaldi making his comeback to the festival. We reported how Lewis, 28, triumphantly returned to the festival's main stage last night, two years after having to leave the same stage. But it was a different Capaldi the band had in store for the adoring Worthy Farm crowd. READ MORE: Lewis Capaldi's special Celtic nod during Glastonbury gig Alex revealed the surprise to cheers: "Well, Glastonbury, it gives me great joy to say that these rumours are true, and he's here with us tonight. The original Capaldi – Peter Capaldi!" The Doctor Who star then took to the stage in a black suit with a red shirt and sunglasses to perform Franz Ferdinand's biggest hit, Take Me Out, with them. Peter oozed cool as he strutted across the stage and looked at home playing with Alex and co.

Must-see live gigs and concerts in Wales in summer 2025
2024 was a phenomenal year for music with the likes of Taylor Swift, P!nk, Foo Fighters, Billy Joel and Bruce Springsteen & E Street Band all performing at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. But this year has the potential to be even better with more worldwide superstars set to make an appearance. Oasis On July 4 and July 5, Oasis will perform at their first concert since V Festival in Weston Park, Staffordshire on August 22, 2009. After over 15 years, the iconic brothers will officially reunite at the Principality Stadium. And if you're an Oasis fan, this might be one of the last opportunities you get to see the duo ever perform on UK soil. Stereophonics Less than a week later, Stereophonics will play on July 11 and 12 as part of their Stadium Anthem Summer '25 Tour with Blossoms as the supporting act. Originally from Wales, Stereophonics will remind Welsh fans of the talent they have on their doorstep. If you enjoy rock music, you would be wise to get a ticket for Stereophonics at Principality Stadium. Kendrick Lamar and SZA Also at the Principality Stadium, international superstars Kendrick Lamar and SZA will play on July 19 in their Grand National Tour. This is the first all-stadium tour for both artists and this show in Cardiff will be one of 39 the pair undertake across Europe and North America. Kendrick Lamar is widely regarded as one of the greatest rappers of all time while SZA has won five grammy awards – if that doesn't motivate you to go to a live gig in Wales, nothing will. Catfish and the Bottlemen The British indie rock band which was formed in Llandudno will experience their first ever headline stadium concert on August 1 at the Principality Stadium. The band are known for their energetic live performances having previously performed at festivals such as Glastonbury and Latitude. Catfish and the Bottlemen burst onto the scene in 2007 before being awarded the Brit Award for British Breakthrough Act in 2016 and then their second album, The Ride was released and debuted at number one in the UK Albums Chart.
