Scottish singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi delivered a memorable performance at the Sound Control club in Manchester on Thursday night. Not only did he captivate the audience with his signature powerful vocals, but he also charmed them with his hilarious jokes and distinctive Scottish accent. It was a night of great music, laughter, and unforgettable moments.
A Night to Remember
Capaldi performed a setlist that included songs from his debut EP ‘Bloom’, along with a few stand-alone tracks. His Alternative/Indie sound echoed throughout the venue, and his powerful voice was undeniably the highlight of the night.
He kicked off the set with ‘Tough’, grabbing the crowd’s attention from the very first notes. Capaldi’s ability to effortlessly shift between high and soft notes left everyone in awe. The energy continued to build as he moved into ‘Lost On You’, a track that had the entire audience singing along, demonstrating just how much his music resonates with fans.
A Setlist to Remember
Some standout tracks from the night included ‘Rush’, ‘Fade’, ‘Mercy’, and the heart-wrenching ‘Bruises’. The emotional depth of the songs gave Capaldi a chance to showcase his incredible vocal range, with each note echoing throughout the intimate venue. His performance of ‘Mercy’ was especially moving, as Capaldi stepped away from the mic to let the crowd take over, creating a spine-tingling moment of unity between the artist and his fans.
Capaldi’s humour shone through as well, lightening the mood between the emotional performances. Before ‘Mercy’, he joked, “If you know the lyrics, please help me out,” which further endeared him to the crowd.
Rising Star
After touring with Rag’n’Bone Man as a supporting act in November, Capaldi wasted no time in hitting the road for his own tour. His hard work is clearly paying off, and it’s not just fans who are noticing. Celebrities like Niall Horan, Ellie Goulding, and Hailee Steinfeld have publicly supported him, praising his talent and raw vocal ability.
Aside from his impressive vocal performance, Capaldi showed his gratitude to fans by sticking around after the show to take pictures and chat. His genuine connection with the audience made the night even more special for those in attendance.
What’s Next for Lewis Capaldi?
The Manchester show was part of Capaldi’s 12-day December tour, but fans can look forward to seeing him again soon. He’s returning to the city on February 16th, performing at Club Academy, a slightly larger venue. It’s clear that Capaldi’s star is on the rise, and we should all keep an eye on his next steps.
