Lewis Capaldi’s recent gigs seem to have been strong full circle moments after he took two years off to work on his mental health. His Cardiff show was no different, and as I was comparing it to the last time I’d seen him in the same stadium in 2023, there were several things which stood out to me at his latest gig at Cardiff Utilita.

He greeted the fans with lots of enthusiasm, adding: “It’s good to be back. It’s good to be back in Cardiff. Everyone all good, everyone all happy?

“It’s Saturday night in Cardiff as well. Me and the Welsh.”

He added: “Listen, I’m here, I feel relaxed. I feel loosey goosey. This is the third last night of the tour. This is the last show in the UK.”

As an ever down to earth soul with a likeable edge that makes it easy to put yourself in his shoes, he put the crowd at ease and I loved how calm his fan base was. There was definitely a sense of respect for him and what he does, especially in the face of the personal struggles he has had to endure. Read the full review here.
