Lewis Capaldi Hyde Park 2026: Setlist & Guests

Lewis Capaldi headlined two sold-out nights at Hyde Park, London, on Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 July 2026, playing to a 65,000-capacity crowd each night. Saturday brought Sam Fender on stage for "Rein Me In"; Sunday brought Luke Pritchard of The Kooks for "Naive"; both nights closed on "Someone You Loved". Most write-ups of the weekend focus on one night or the other. This is the full record of both shows, set out side by side.

The second night was added to the run after the first sold out within hours of going on sale, and BST's own listing described it as going ahead "due to phenomenal demand". Both dates were billed as Capaldi's biggest UK festival headline show to date, the peak of his comeback summer.

What songs did Lewis Capaldi play at BST Hyde Park?

Lewis Capaldi's Saturday 11 July headline set at BST Hyde Park opened with a taped intro of Don McLean's "American Pie", then moved into a live set spanning his catalogue from "Hollywood" through to "Forget Me", before an encore that closed on "Someone You Loved". The table below sets out the full running order, including the moment Sam Fender joined him for "Rein Me In".

Sunday's set was not documented song by song in the same detail. The confirmed guest, songs and standout moments from the second night are covered below.

Who joined Lewis Capaldi on stage at Hyde Park?

Two different guests joined Lewis Capaldi across the weekend. On Saturday 11 July, Sam Fender came out for "Rein Me In", the Fender and Olivia Dean single that is officially the longest-running Number 1 by a British act in UK chart history, at 16 non-consecutive weeks. On Sunday 12 July, Luke Pritchard of The Kooks joined him for "Naive".

Olivia Dean was not on stage for the "Rein Me In" performance; the song is credited to Fender and Dean, and it was Fender alone who joined Capaldi. Capaldi introduced "Naive" on the Sunday as "one of the best songs ever written" before Pritchard came out to sing it with him.

Saturday vs Sunday: how the two nights differed

Lewis Capaldi's two BST Hyde Park nights shared a billing but differed in the detail. Saturday brought Sam Fender and a free global YouTube livestream; Sunday brought Luke Pritchard of The Kooks and no broadcast. The table below compares the two nights directly.

What were the standout moments at BST Hyde Park?

The emotional high point on Saturday was "The Day That I Die", during which Capaldi visibly struggled to hold back tears as the crowd chanted his name and sang the words back to him. On the Sunday, an equally overwhelmed Capaldi told the crowd that "there was a point where I didn't think this would ever be possible again but we're here and I'm having a great time".

Both nights closed on "Someone You Loved": Saturday's version ended with fireworks over the park, while on Sunday Capaldi stepped back from the microphone and let the crowd carry the final chorus alone. Reviewers landed on the same description for the whole weekend, calling it a comeback finally finished. The same duality ran through both sets: big laughs alongside the tears. On the Sunday, Capaldi thanked the crowd with a typically self-deprecating line about "the money", before promising "we're going to have fun, you and I".

His next UK headline dates are Latitude Festival at Henham Park (23 to 26 July 2026), and then Sefton Park in Liverpool on 15 August 2026. More on Lewis Capaldi.

Was the Lewis Capaldi Hyde Park show streamed?

Yes, but only on the Saturday night. Capaldi's 11 July set streamed live and free worldwide on his official YouTube channel, produced with 26 cameras and drone footage, making him the first artist to livestream a full headline set from BST Hyde Park. Sunday's show was not streamed. A replay was made available afterwards on the same official channel.

The livestream opened with a short film by creative director Rory Dewar before the show itself began. AEG Presents UK's chief executive, Jim King, called it "a landmark moment for BST and a fantastic opportunity for millions of fans to be part of the experience, wherever they are in the world." No official viewing figures for the stream have been published.
