Could Lewis Capaldi be plotting an emotional return to Glastonbury Festival in 2025? Fresh rumours suggest the Scottish singer-songwriter may be gearing up for a surprise set to make peace with an unfinished chapter from his past.
Capaldi's 2023 Glasto performance was a moment that made headlines around the world. Battling vocal struggles and tics caused by his Tourette's syndrome, Capaldi visibly struggled through parts of his set on the iconic Pyramid Stage. In an unforgettable show of support, the crowd helped him finish songs, singing along word-for-word in a powerful, emotional gesture that left many in tears.
"My voice is really packing in," Capaldi told the audience during the set, while also thanking them for their patience and support. He had previously cancelled several tour dates leading up to the festival, citing mental health reasons. "I recently took three weeks off... It was a break for my mental health and stuff," he said, adding that Glastonbury had always been special to him, and he didn't want to miss it.
Capaldi closed that performance with an apology and a heartfelt plea: "I hope the Eavises will have me back on." Now, insiders are hinting that his wish might just be granted.

Sources close to the festival's organisation suggest that Capaldi could be making a secret appearance in 2025, possibly in one of the festival’s intimate venues or as a surprise guest on one of the main stages. Given the emotional weight of his previous appearance, fans are already buzzing with excitement at the possibility of his return.
Capaldi has remained relatively quiet on the touring front since stepping back to prioritise his mental and physical health. However, his musical output and online presence continue to keep fans engaged, and many feel that Glastonbury 2025 could be the perfect stage for his full-circle moment.
If true, Capaldi’s comeback would undoubtedly be one of the most talked-about highlights of the festival.
As always, Glasto's organisers remain tight-lipped about the full lineup and potential surprises, but with the festival just weeks away from finalising announcements, speculation is at an all-time high. Whether it’s a secret set or a guest slot, Lewis Capaldi's name is back in the conversation, and fans are hoping 2025 will give him the redemption arc he's more than earned.
