Most of the pyramid stage moments in Glastonbury are very euphoria for players and passengers, but Lewis Capaldi cannot complete his set in 2023 due to the Tourettes battle. This afternoon Capaldi returned to the main stage of the festival to provide a short surprise set.

The appearance of Glastonbury 2023 Capaldi is very significant that it plays a major role in the Netflix documentary that explores his condition. But this afternoon, Capaldi seemed secretly confident when he did a 35-minute set showing his biggest hit. He also introduced a new song.

Walking forward before you leave his debut album Divinely is not inspired to a very good limit, he sings Grace and hugs me while you are waiting, also from LP 2019, followed by bruises, before introducing the audience to a new single that survives about overcoming the problem with Tourettes. He went to forget me from the 2022 recording which was solved by the desire to become a heavenly sent before ending by bringing the song of someone you love, a song that only successfully sung half of two years ago.

Sometimes stopping to talk to the audience, he is usually honest and talks about his condition and rests two years from a direct show. He said: “Glastonbury is happy to be back,” he said after the second song, Grace. “I won’t talk much here today because if I do it, I might start crying.”

“The last two years have not been the best for me. Sometimes it is difficult. I want to write a song about overcoming the item. This has become my goal, to return here, do this.”

Before he led the biggest hit, someone you love, he said: “I can’t sing this song two years ago. I might struggle to finish it today for different reasons.”

Seeing Capaldi singing someone you love two years later will always feel real. With the sun that defeated tens of thousands who gathered in the crowd of pyramids, there was a calm atmosphere when he made it through the track. Many people, especially couples, cry and embrace each other when they sing together.

Then he left without more than a few pleasantries. The nature of the music means that the moment will never feel euphoria, but of course, because it is symbolic in showing how Capaldi has overcome some of his mental health struggles and made it through the song.

With hundreds of flags flying in the wind, illuminated by the afternoon sun, it will definitely be one of the moments that are repeated thousands of times on social media and in coverage by the BBC. Inspirational sutff.

Elsewhere on the first day of Glastonbury 2025, Lorde played a secret set on the same day when his fourth album was released. Bringing to the Woodsies stage at 11:30 this morning, he played the entire 12-track front album backward before it was closed in 2017 Fan-Favourite Green Light.
