After two years away from the spotlight, global superstar Lewis Capaldi is well and truly, back.
Back in the charts with his huge new single Survive, back in the headlines after his surprise and magnificent return to Glastonbury Festival and, this September, back on tour in arenas across the UK.
On Friday afternoon, a headliner-sized Pyramid Stage crowd embraced the emotion of Lewis's emergence into the sunshine for a powerful, hit-laden half-hour. 'Second time's a charm on this one,' said Lewis. 'I just wanted to come and finish what I couldn't finish last time.' That he emphatically did, with his soaring vocals leading the crowd through classics Before You Go , Grace , Hold Me While You Wait , Bruises , Forget Me, a first live showing of 'Survive', and a unifying performance of Someone You Loved . There wasn't a dry eye in the house.
On Monday, Lewis announced a UK & Ireland Arena Tour for September 2025, with dates in Sheffield, Aberdeen, Glasgow, London, Manchester, Birmingham, Nottingham, Cardiff, Dublin - Tickets on sale HERE with Pre-Sale: Tuesday, Jul 8th @ 9.00am & General Sale: Thursday, Jul 10th @ 9.00am.
'Survive' sees Lewis re-united with close collaborator Romans, who co-wrote his global megahit 'Someone You Loved', that extraordinarily turned 10x Platinum earlier this year.
The new track arrives off the back of a run of Scottish warm up shows in May that saw Lewis return to the stage as a guest of mental health charity CALM, in celebration of Mental Health Awareness Week. With no pressure, and no level of expectation, the shows allowed Capaldi the space to gauge his comfort and emotional response before returning to the spotlight - a move which ended up proving nothing short of a triumph.
Lewis' last release, the hit-stacked record Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent , scored him his second UK number 1 album, creating another three heartbreaking UK number 1 singles, 'Pointless', 'Wish You The Best ' and the Platinum-certified 'Forget Me', working with hitmakers including Max Martin (Taylor Swift, The Weeknd), Malay (Lorde, Frank Ocean), and longtime collaborator Phil Plested (James Bay, Bastille).
The album also gained widespread critical acclaim from the likes of The Guardian, New York Times, NME, Rolling Stone, GQ, Stereogum & many more. It also topped airplay charts, smashing an impressive 95,000 units, outselling the rest of that week's Top 10 combined, as well as outselling first week sales of his own monumental debut album Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent .
April 2023 saw the global Netflix release of Lewis' compelling, raw and honest feature-length, GRAMMY®-nominated music documentary 'Lewis Capaldi: How I'm Feeling Now' - available to watch on the platform now. The documentary shot straight to the top of the Netflix chart, making it the most watched film on the platform since its release.
Lewis' subsequent success stems back to 2019's multimillion selling debut Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent , which propelled Capaldi from bedroom musician to superstar. Few had seen a debut release quite like it, becoming the biggest selling UK album of both 2019 & 2020, spawning two UK number 1 singles, bagging a few BRITs and a GRAMMY® nomination, with one of those number 1's becoming a smash hit on both sides of the globe in 'Someone You Loved', which as well as recently going 10x Platinum , is also the UK's most streamed song of all time & the world's fourth highest ever streamed song.
After weathering the kind of storm that few can prepare for, Lewis Capaldi returns with a renewed sense of purpose. 'Survive' proves that even in the darkest moments, there's still strength in showing up. As he marks a new era, Lewis isn't just surviving, he's returning even stronger, heart wide open, and ready to step out again.

Squid Game episodes ranked from worst to best
Squid Game has come to an end with its highly anticipated third season. After four years, the story of Player 456 has reached a conclusion on Netflix. The ending of season three might have left you with a few questions - not least of all who the surprise cameo at the end was. Find out more about that here. Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has hinted at having an idea for a spin-off - while the reality show version 'Squid Game: The Challenge' is set to return in the future as well. An American adaptation is also in the works and was potentially hinted at in the conclusion of season three. Now that all of the episodes of Squid Game are out - and all the games have been played - you might be wondering which are considered the best. And which have lower reputation with fans. We have pulled together a ranking of every single episode of the Netflix hit based on audience reviews on IMDb. The list is ordered from worst to best - but let me know your favourite episode by email: . If you love TV, check out our Screen Babble podcast to get the latest in TV and film. 1 . 21 - Friend or Foe (s2 ep 7) - 7 Viewers seem not to have been big on Squid Game's recent season finales.

It has a rating of 7/10 based on 17,000 reviews. | Netflix Photo: Netflix Photo Sales 2 . 20 - Halloween Party (s2 ep 2) - 7.2 Squid Game's second season took the bold move of taking its time to head back to the titular games.

It is based on 15,000 reviews on IMDb. | Netflix Photo: Netflix Photo Sales 3 . 19 - One More Game (s2 ep 5) - 7.3 Entering the back half of its second series, Squid Game the players were faced with a vote whether to continue or not.

Tragic Liam Payne given heartbreaking tribute at start of Netflix's Building the Band – but there's bad news for fans
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) NETFLIX talent contest Building The Band kicks off with a special dedication to the memory of the late Liam Payne and his family. Before the competition starts, show host and Backstreet Boys singer AJ McLean, appears on screen to pay tribute to the One Direction star. 8 Netflix talent contest Building The Band kicks off with a special dedication to the memory of the late Liam Payne Credit: BackGrid Featuring as a guest judge on the programme was one of Liam's final projects before he tragically fell to his death from a hotel balcony in Argentina, aged just 31, in October last year. AJ says: 'When we came together to film Building The Band, we never imagined we'd soon be saying goodbye to our friend, Liam Payne. 'Liam is a guest judge in later episodes and through his presence we see his deep love for music and his unwavering commitment to helping others find their voice. 'It is through that spirit that we dedicate this series to Liam and his family.' Building The Band, which features Nicole Scherzinger as the main judge and mentor, will begin to drop on the streaming giant next Wednesday after Liam's loved ones signed off on his scenes in the show. But fans hoping to see him straight away in the ten-part season will be disappointed as he will only appear from episode seven onwards alongside fellow guest judge Kelly Rowland. The first batch of four, hour-long episodes will land next week, followed by another three on July 16. The remaining three episodes will go out on July 23. It was a bittersweet moment for fans of Liam and One Direction last week when Netflix dropped the trailer for the show, and featured him extensively throughout. Filmed last August, he is seen coaching a wannabe band, telling them: 'You've got a lot of work to do vocally — I need to feel that connection between you guys.' In another moment, he seemingly refers to his own One Direction past when he comments on the show's selection process. Building the Band: First Look, Netflix It sees 50 musicians having to form six pop groups — choosing their bandmates through voice and compatibility alone, without seeing them. One Direction were formed on The X Factor in 2010, although the five bandmates got to meet each other before the group was put together.
