Lewis Capaldi’s full BST Hyde Park and Roundhay Festival 2026 line-ups are confirmed, featuring The Vaccines, Conan Gray, Nieve Ella and more

Lewis Capaldi‘s summer 2026 UK run just got a lot more crowded. On Monday May 11, the full supporting line-ups for his headline appearances at BST Hyde Park and Leeds’ inaugural Roundhay Festival were confirmed, filling in the remaining slots around previously announced names Jacob Alon and Conan Gray. The announcements mark another milestone in a comeback that, not long ago, was far from guaranteed.

Capaldi tops the bill at BST Hyde Park across two consecutive nights, July 11 and 12, and headlines Roundhay Festival on July 4. The three outdoor dates form the centrepiece of his broader UK and Ireland summer tour, with additional headline shows in Liverpool and Newcastle, as well as a slot at Sziget Festival. The scale of the undertaking reflects how decisively he has reclaimed his position since returning to the stage at Glastonbury 2025, where he told a packed Pyramid Stage crowd “I’m back, baby” after a two-year absence triggered by a Tourette’s flare-up that cut his 2023 set short.

Since then, he has played a sold-out Madison Square Garden, debuted new single ‘Stay Love’ at a pop-up outside a New York florist that nearly got shut down by police, and confirmed he plans to begin work on a new album after wrapping his European dates this summer.

Full Line-Ups Confirmed for Both Dates

For Roundhay Festival on July 4, Capaldi will be joined by Jacob Alon, Conan Gray, Jessie Murph, Kerr Mercer, Nieve Ella, Ber, and Maya Lane. The Leeds event marks a significant launch for the Roundhay Festival brand, which is being established by the same team behind BST Hyde Park, and represents a direct move to replicate the London series’ formula in the north of England.

The sold-out July 11 BST Hyde Park slot brings together a notably diverse bill. The Vaccines, one of British indie rock’s most reliable live acts, lead the supporting cast, alongside Absolutely, Nieve Ella, Tyler Ballgame, Kerr Mercer, NECKBREAKERS, Benjamin Steer, Luz, Sebastian Croft, and Luke La Volpe. The July 12 show, which remains available for tickets, rounds out its card with Alessi Rose, Absolutely, Alexandra Savior, Folk Bitch Trio, Sadie Jean, Ber, Murdo Mitchell, Beattie, Luke Hart, and Mark Sharp and The Bicycle Thieves.

The Biggest Summer of Lewis Capaldi’s Comeback Era

The line-up announcements arrive as Capaldi continues to build momentum at a pace that would have been difficult to predict during his two years away from performing. His 2025 EP Survive was released to mark his return, and a mystery pitched-down vinyl that quietly appeared in UK and US record stores, including Rough Trade, was subsequently confirmed as his work, with one copy surfacing on eBay for £2,500. He also appeared in Taylor Swift‘s ‘Opalite’ music video and joined Matty Healy at a charity acoustic event.

The Glastonbury 2025 moment that formally reopened his public chapter carried particular weight. In 2023, it was on that same Pyramid Stage where his visible struggle with Tourette’s tics forced him to stop singing Someone You Loved, with the crowd famously stepping in to carry the song for him. The image of that crowd singalong travelled far beyond music press and became part of a broader cultural conversation about public health, vulnerability, and what live music can hold. His return to the same stage two years later landed accordingly. This summer’s outdoor run is the next chapter.

Remaining tickets for Lewis Capaldi at BST Hyde Park on July 12 and Roundhay Festival on July 4 are on sale now.
