Lewis Capaldi plays second surprise set after 'inspiring' Glastonbury comeback
The Scots singer surprised fans at the OpenAir St Gallen festival in Switzerland on Saturday, two years after pulling out of a show to take a performing break.
Lewis Capaldi is continuing his huge comeback into the music scene after his emotional Glastonbury performance on Friday, June 27. The Scots musician stunned the Worthy Farm crowd with his surprise set and the debut of a new song.
But Lewis also surprised his Swiss fans with a gig yesterday, Saturday June 28 after previously having to pull out of a show in Switzerland in 2023.
Taking to Instagram on Saturday, the 28-year-old wrote: "Had to come back and make it up to you all x".
The clip shared by Lewis showed the Swiss crowd being told two years ago: "Lewis Capaldi can't sing for us right now. So we're going to sing for Lewis Capaldi."
The scenes showed how the crowd at the time at OpenAir St Gallen came together to show support for the star by singing his hit Someone You Loved, reported The Mirror.
Lewis then told his followers: "You filled in for me when I couldn't be there." And a video then showed him walking back on stage to huge applause as he said: "Switzerland 2025 I wanted to make it up to you."
After waving at his adoring crowd, he then said: "My name's Lewis Capaldi and I'm f***ing back baby. Here we go."
He paused mid song once again to emotionally take in the moment as the crowd serenaded him.
As he finished the song he shared a sweet laugh at the scenes as fans flashed love heart signs with their hands.
Fans in the comment section were keen to also share their support to the pop star.
One user gushes: "The LEGEND IS BACK," while another praised: "What a comeback," with a love heart emoji.
A third told him: "You are so incredibly loved. It was great to see you on that stage," an another added: "This is why we need to support each other with understanding, support and grace. I LOVE this. And it's very, very helpful and inspiring. Brilliant! Blessings to all."
As part of his emotional comeback, Lewis has released his first new song in two years.

He had sent shockwaves on social media when he dropped a teaser for his brand new song on Instagram just hours before his Glastonbury appearance.
The song, titled Survive, clearly means a lot to the BRIT Award winning artist who has faced mental health struggles over the past two years and taking a step back from music.
Alongside the video, Lewis wrote: "It's been a while." And in classic Lewis style, the artist's new song is full of emotion.
Lyrics on the track include "I swear to God I'll survive" and "I'm going to get up and live until the day that I die."
