The Scottish singer stepped on to Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage for a secret set, two years after a performance at the festival saw him struggle to manage his Tourette's symptoms.
The crowd started chanting 'oh Lewis Capaldi' before he began playing the hit song Before You Go to kick off his set, which had been listed as 'TBA' on the Glastonbury website.
He told fans: 'It's so good to be back. I'm not going to say much up here today, because if I do, I think I will probably start crying.
'But it's just amazing to be here with you all, and I can't thank you all enough for coming out and coming and seeing me.
'Second time's a charm on this one, everybody.
'It's just a short set today, but I just wanted to come and kind of finish what I couldn't finish the first time round.'
Announcing the 2025 tour dates, Capaldi said on Instagram: "will be my only shows in the uk, ireland or europe this year! would love to see ya there 🌸 x"
Lewis Capaldi will play at Co-op Live in Manchester on Saturday, September 20.

Bob Vylan Frontman Speaks Out After Band Is Dropped From Manchester Music Festival
The punk rap duo Bob Vylan have spoken out after it was reported that they had been dropped from a music festival in Manchester. Over the weekend, the band caused controversy when they led the crowd at their Glastonbury set in a chant of 'death to the IDF', in reference to Israel's army. After facing condemnation from UK prime minister Sir Keir Starmer, the BBC – which broadcast the set live and uncensored on its iPlayer service – and Glastonbury's organisers, it was revealed that a criminal investigation was underway following sets by both Bob Vylan and fellow performers Kneecap. On Wednesday, BBC News reported that, in the wake of the controversy, Bob Vylan had been dropped from the line-ups of Radar Festival in Manchester, and Kave Fest in France. Reacting to the news, frontman Bobby Vylan wrote on Instagram: 'Silence is not an option. We will be fine, the people of Palestine are hurting.' 'Manchester we will be back,' he then vowed. Bobby previously addressed the Glastonbury furore in an Instagram post captioned: 'I said what I said.' He and bandmate Bobbie Vylan then released a joint statement which read: 'We are not for the death of Jews, Arabs or any other race or group of people. We are for the dismantling of a violent military machine. A machine whose own soldiers were told to use 'unnecessary lethal force' against innocent civilians waiting for aid. A machine that has destroyed much of Gaza.' Referring to the activist group Palestine Action and fellow Glastonbury performers Kneecap, the duo continued: 'We, like those in the spotlight before us, are not the story. We are a distraction from the story. And whatever sanctions we receive will be a distraction. 'The government doesn't want us to ask why they remain silent in the face of this atrocity. To ask why they aren't doing more to stop the killing. To feed the starving. The more they talk about Bob Vylan, the less they spend answering for their criminal inaction. 'We are being targeted for speaking up. We are not the first. We will not be the last. And if you care for the sanctity of human life and freedom of speech, we urge you to speak up, too.' Avon and Somerset Police said on Tuesday: 'Video footage and audio from Bob Vylan and Kneecap's performances at Glastonbury Festival on Saturday has been reviewed. 'Following the completion of that assessment process we have decided further enquiries are required and a criminal investigation is now being undertaken. A senior detective has been appointed to lead this investigation.'

Xbox Games Cancelled as Microsoft Slashes 9000 Jobs
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors Microsoft has reportedly cancelled Everwild, an in-development game from UK-based Sea of Thieves developer Rare, and potentially other projects amid a round of layoffs that will see the company lose upwards of 9000 employees. The layoffs were first reported by Bloomberg, which revealed that 10% of staff at Candy Crush developer King – recently purchased by Microsoft alongside Activision and Blizzard – were set to be laid off. Further reporting from the outlet revealed that 9000 employees would be laid off at the software giant, with many of those layoffs coming from within the Microsoft Gaming and Xbox banner. Four characters look up at a picture of a deer drawn in the night sky with magical lights in a 2020 trailer for Everwild. Four characters look up at a picture of a deer drawn in the night sky with magical lights in a 2020 trailer for Everwild. Microsoft In a memo to Xbox staff obtained by IGN, Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer said the company would "end or decrease work in certain areas of the business" in an effort to "increase agility and effectiveness." The full memo can be read here, courtesy of IGN: Today we are sharing decisions that will impact colleagues across our organization. To position Gaming for enduring success and allow us to focus on strategic growth areas, we will end or decrease work in certain areas of the business and follow Microsoft's lead in removing layers of management to increase agility and effectiveness. Out of respect for those impacted today, the specifics of today's notifications and any organizational shifts will be shared by your team leaders in the coming days. I recognize that these changes come at a time when we have more players, games, and gaming hours than ever before. Our platform, hardware, and game roadmap have never looked stronger. The success we're seeing currently is based on tough decisions we've made previously. We must make choices now for continued success in future years and a key part of that strategy is the discipline to prioritize the strongest opportunities. We will protect what is thriving and concentrate effort on areas with the greatest potential, while delivering on the expectations the company has for our business. This focused approach means we can deliver exceptional games and experiences for players for generations to come. Prioritizing our opportunities is essential, but that does not lessen the significance of this moment. Simply put, we would not be where we are today without the time, energy, and creativity of those whose roles are impacted. These decisions are not a reflection of the talent, creativity, and dedication of the people involved. Our momentum is not accidental — it is the result of years of dedicated effort from our teams. HR is working directly with impacted employees to provide severance plan benefits (aligned with local laws), including pay, healthcare coverage, and job placement resources to support their transition. Employees whose roles were eliminated are encouraged to explore open positions across Microsoft Gaming, where their applications will be given priority review. Thank you to everyone who has shaped our culture, our products, and our community. We will move forward with deep appreciation and respect for all who have contributed to this journey. Phil Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier also confirmed on Bluesky that Rare's project Everwild had been cancelled, saying that the news is "coming in drips" and to expect more news of project cancellations and job cuts in the coming hours and days. The full scale of today's Xbox layoff is not yet clear, but you can expect more news of project cancelations and job cuts as the U.S. west coast wakes up. Some studios are planning meetings within the next two hours. — Jason Schreier (@ 2025-07-02T14:42:49.219Z It comes after multiple rounds of layoffs for the software and gaming giant, with over 6000 employees laid off from the company earlier this year in May. The company similarly laid off 10,000 employees in January 2023. Everwild started development in 2014, and was officially revealed in November 2019. The game was said to be a third-person action-adventure game, with multiple high profile creatives taking on leading roles in the game's development. The game was reportedly scheduled to launch in 2023, before being rebooted and entering development hell, although comments from Spencer in 2024 suggested the game was still on track for a release.

Billie Eilish's Album Surges A Year After It First Became A Bestseller
Billie Eilish's Hit Me Hard and Soft surges back into the U.K. top 40 sales charts, rising to No. 40 ... More on both the Official Physical Albums and Albums Sales lists. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - FEBRUARY 02: (FOR EDITORIAL USE ONLY) Billie Eilish attends the 67th GRAMMY Awards on February 02, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Jon Kopaloff/WireImage) Just over a year after Hit Me Hard and Soft, Billie Eilish's latest album, debuted on charts in the United Kingdom, the project is suddenly rising again. The full-length largely hasn't disappeared since its arrival in the spring of 2024, but at the moment, the Grammy-nominated set is climbing on multiple tallies. It even manages to return to one as it becomes a bestselling release across a variety of formats once more. Purchases of Hit Me Hard and Soft Surge Sales of Hit Me Hard and Soft have clearly grown in the U.K. recently, as Eilish's collection returns to the top 40 on a trio of lists focused solely on purchases. Hit Me Hard and Soft rises more than 20 spaces on both the Official Physical Albums and Official Albums Sales charts, landing, coincidentally, at No. 40 on both at the same time. Eilish also reenters the Official Vinyl Albums ranking at No. 33 with her 2024 effort. Sales Drive the Album Higher All those purchases help Hit Me Hard and Soft climb a single spot on the Official Albums chart, which ranks the most consumed projects in the nation. Sales are largely to thank, as the title drops slightly on the Official Albums Streaming ranking, dipping just one space from No. 19 to No. 20. Hit Me Hard and Soft's Lifespan on the Charts Hit Me Hard and Soft has now spent 58 weeks on all but one of the tallies in the U.K. where it can currently be found. The set has only missed that mark on the Official Vinyl Albums chart, where it's now up to 45 frames as it returns. Happier Than Ever Rises Again Sales of two of Eilish's full-lengths are growing in the U.K., as Happier Than Ever also jumps on the Official Physical Albums and Official Albums Sales rankings, appearing at Nos. 64 and 66, respectively. Last week, the singer-songwriter's sophomore studio effort appeared below the No. 80 mark. Billie Eilish's Catalog May Continue to Climb Eilish's entire catalog may continue to grow in the U.K. as she is about to touch down in England for a string of shows. The singer is preparing for half a dozen dates at The O2 Arena in London, and then four nights in Manchester before heading to Dublin, Asia, and back to the United States for another leg.
