The lights went out and a screen started to flash images of the staircase from his upcoming album’s cover. Once Capaldi came on the stage, the whole crowd went wild with tears and screams of happiness. Lewis opened the show up with his song Forget Me, which was the first single from his upcoming album, Broken by Desire to Be Heavenly Sent. The second song of the night was Forever. Later on in the set, before performing Before You Go, he told the crowd that this song was dedicated to his late aunt. A fan from the crowd yelled out saying that she had the same name as his aunt and was able to get closer to the stage to give Capaldi a shirt she had made. He then also dedicated the song to the fan.
During his set, he also performed Grace, Pointless, and How I’m Feeling Now. I was so happy to hear How I’m Feeling Now. This song is definitely one of my top favorites that Lewis has released to date. It felt so surreal to hear it live and be able to sing along with him and the rest of the crowd. Capaldi ended his set by singing his hit song Someone You Loved. Every fan in the venue stood up to sing along with him. All throughout the show, he had his fans completely laughing along with his jokes and singing along to every song. I do not think that I have ever laughed so much at someone’s humor. With his music and wit, Lewis Capaldi will keep the crowd entertained the entire night.
