He then joked: "I assume when I have a child I'll be like 'well, maybe Glastonbury was still better'."
Capaldi performed a secret set at Glastonbury last month, after a taking a two-year break from the spotlight.
The musician announced he was taking time off shortly after performing at the festival in 2023 due to vocal issues, anxiety and his Tourette's syndrome.

(Image: Todd Owyoung/NBC) Speaking of his previous performance, he said: "The first time did not go well, I had what the children would refer to as a bit of a menty-b, a mental breakdown on stage."
He continued: "I have Tourette's so I used to tic quite a lot [...] and it became really uncontrollable and I had a panic attack and all this stuff on stage at Glastonbury and I couldn't finish the song.
"It had happened a couple of times at shows but I think because this one was so publicised and there was so many eyes on it really made me think I need to go and get myself sorted."
Capaldi is set to perform at the Hydro on September 13 and 14 as part of his UK tour.

Whitlam, Vietnam and colour TV: how Australia was redefined by the ‘hinge year' of 1975
Seismic political shake-ups, international upheaval that reverberated across the nation and a vivid cultural renaissance – 1975 was one of Australia's most pivotal years of the 20th century. Five decades on, the National Library of Australia in Canberra is about to unveil a new exhibition spotlighting the year the prime minister was sacked, the Vietnam war came to an end and how, despite Hollywood telling us we'd never go back into the water, we did. Taking the title of the seminal Skyhooks album as inspiration, 1975: Living in the Seventies will explore how global conflict, pop culture, fashion and political reforms collided during a time of deep transformation. It is what the library's director of exhibitions, Guy Hansen, calls one of Australia's 'hinge years', up there with 1914 and 1949, when Australians ceased to be British subjects and a federal election ushered in the Menzies era respectively. 'Australia started to go in a distinct direction,' says Hansen, who was a primary school student in Sydney's western suburbs at the time. Sign up for the fun stuff with our rundown of must-reads, pop culture and tips for the weekend, every Saturday morning 'And of course, back then everybody watched the same news. The family would sit down and watch the seven o'clock news and hear what James Dibble had to say about things … and even if you were 11, you got a sense of the world.' The year did not begin well. The cleanup from Cyclone Tracy's devastation had just begun – the death toll had risen to 66 – and five days into the new year 12 lives were lost when the bulk ore carrier MV Lake Illawarra struck the Tasman Bridge in Hobart. And it was bookended by the dismissal of Gough Whitlam's government on 11 November, sparking one of the most intense collective public reactions in Australian political history. Under Whitlam the nation underwent sweeping changes to healthcare, divorce law and immigration policy, pushing Australia toward multiculturalism. And global events had not had such an enormous local impact since the outbreak of the second world war. The civil war that began in Lebanon would lead to 30,000 people migrating to Australia. Three times that number arrived from Vietnam after the fall of Saigon. One neighbour to the north, Papua New Guinea, gained independence from Australia; another, Indonesia, invaded East Timor, with the diplomatic crisis deepening after news of the murder of five Australian journalists in Balibo. Australia was unable to quarantine itself from global economic stagflation and a looming energy crisis and watched on in wonder as Margaret Thatcher became the first woman in British history to take over the leadership of a major political party. The country's hallowed communications institutions were disbanded, with the Postmaster-General's Department becoming Telecom Australia and the Australian Postal Commission becoming Australia Post. The safari-suit wearing South Australian premier, Don Dunstan, scandalised conservative Australia with his decision to decriminalise homosexual acts between consenting adults. Sign up to Saved for Later Catch up on the fun stuff with Guardian Australia's culture and lifestyle rundown of pop culture, trends and tips after newsletter promotion As gay rights were ushered in, the symbolic start of Indigenous land rights was marked by Whitlam pouring soil into the hands of the Gurindji leader Vincent Lingiari. It was also a year of youth-led culture. Double J became the new young voice of Australian music, Molly Meldrum the face of the country's most popular music show and Skyhooks dominated the year as Australia's answer to the big glam rock bands emerging out of London. Australia switched to colour television. And while everyone under the age of 30 was busy doing the Time Warp and swearing to never set foot in the water again, Australian films also came into their own. 'You've got movies like Picnic at Hanging Rock [and] Sunday Too Far Away, popular, important movies made by Australian directors with Australian actors,' Hansen says. 'There's this kind of strong nationalism and cultural pride in the 70s, with this desire to tell Australian stories.' The exhibition promises to be more than just a heavy dose of baby boomer nostalgia, he says. It demonstrates how 1975 redefined what it meant to be Australian. 1975: Living in the Seventies opens at the National Library of Australia on 14 August and continues until 1 February. Entry is free.

Hollyoaks live tour AXED over low ticket sales ahead of 30th anniversary
HOLLYOAKS live tour has been sensationally axed - after low ticket sales. The three-date tour - which was not organised by the soap itself - offered fans the chance to meet stars from the show at dates in Manchester, Glasgow and London this October. 2 2 Actors Nick Pickard, Kieron Richardson, Ashley Taylor Dawson, Jorgie Porter and Gary Lucy were slated to appear. However The Sun can exclusively reveal that the October shows have been pulled after ticket sales failed to impress. Tickets were being offered for as much as £161 for a meet and greet ticket with the cast. A source said: 'The promoter massively over-estimated the appeal a live stage show would have to Hollyoaks' core audience. 'The ticket prices were incredibly high for a show that's popular with teenagers. 'The decision was made to pull the tour rather than have a loss-making venture with empty theatres.' Fans who purchased tickets will be contacted soon with the news and be offered refunds at the point of purchase. The Sun understands the shows were not organised by Hollyoaks' production company or Channel 4 and both companies had limited involvement. A spokesperson confirmed the cancellation in a statement, saying: 'Due to unforeseen circumstances the planned theatre events with Maple Tree Entertainment featuring Hollyoaks cast, are not going to take place as planned. "We are sad to disappoint those who had purchased tickets but they will be refunded via the venues.' Watch as Hollyoaks love twist is revealed However Lime Pictures will be still going ahead with a major fan event this October - where fans will be able to celebrate the show with its cast. Hollyoaks has been contacted for comment. From Hollyoaks to Hollywood James Corden played a caretaker in the early days of the soap. The former American TV host doesn't have much positive to say about his time on the soap, claiming it was "hell on earth." Since his short-lived time on the show he has gone on to bigger things including smash hit comedy Gavin and Stacey. Rachel Shenton joined the soap as aspiring glamour model Mitzeee Minniver in 2010. Over two years her character was sent to prison, got pregnant and had a number of romantic affairs. Since leaving Hollyoaks she has won an Oscar for best live action short film, The Silent Child. Rachel has also starred in White Gold and All Creatures Great and Small Emmett J. Scanlan played gangster turned anti-hero Brendan Brady. Emmett played the love interest of Steve Hayes, with their romance delighting fans until it turned violent. Since his departure Emmett has appeared in Peaky Blinders, The Fall, Gangs of London and even appeared in Guardians of the Galaxy Emma Rigby joined Hollyoaks when she was 15 as Hannah Ahsworth. Hannah's eating disorder storyline was the first of it's kind on TV while other plots included being caught in a fire, gangland drug dealing and running away. Since leaving the soap in 2010 Emma has gone on to star in ABCs Once Upon a Time in Wonderland as the Red Queen. Other roles include guest appearances in Death In Paradise, Ripper Street and Fresh Meat Nico Mirallegro got his big break with Hollyoaks starring as emo Barry 'Newt' Newton. Nico's main storyline in the soap was developing schizophrenia which culminated in a suicide pact. He left the soap in 2010 and went on to star in My Mad Fat Diary, Our Girl, Rillington Place, The Ark and Common, Penance, as well as the Mike Leigh movie Peterloo and was nominated for a Bafta for his role in period drama The Village. Ricky Whittle used Hollyoaks as a stepping stone to break America. He played one of the soap's resident hunks, Calvin Valentine, from 2006 to 2011 - when he was killed off at his wedding. After leaving the soap Ricky cracked America starring in teen drama The 100 and America Gods. He also appeared in Strictly Come Dancing in 2009. Warren Brown joined Hollyoaks in 2005 for a year as evil Andy Holt. His stint on the show consisted of date rape storylines and a crime spree, before eventually being killed off. After leaving Hollyoaks, Warren became a big hitter in TV playing DS Justin Ripley in Luther, as well as major roles in a number of dramas including Liar, The Responder, Homefront and Good Cop. Wallis Day played Holly Cunningham in the soap for years before leaving. In 2021 Wallis won the role of Batwoman in DC's series, taking over from Ruby Rose.

I was set on a 3-course meal for our wedding but my KFC loving hubby won & we had a fast food buffet of fried chicken
Plus, the bride and groom who opted for Maccies on their big day PUT A WING ON IT I was set on a 3-course meal for our wedding but my KFC loving hubby won & we had a fast food buffet of fried chicken Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MANY brides and grooms spend hours choosing fancy food for their wedding guests. However, one couple ditched the formal flair for a 'Finger Lickin' Good' spread that was a whole lot cheaper - and apparently went down well with guests. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 A bride shared how she had dreams of having a fancy meal for her wedding Credit: tiktok/@moniquexxharris 2 However, her partner had his heart set on a KFC buffet, which is what they went with Credit: tiktok/@moniquexxharris Australian bride Monique Harris uploaded a video sharing how they had served KFC as the main course at their wedding reception. Guests dined on chicken, fries, and even KFC's signature gravy, instead of the usual multi-course meal. In a video on her @moniquexxharris account, which has racked up over 1.3million views, Monique shared: 'Told my husband we were having a 3 course sit down meal for the wedding. 'He said 'nah I want KFC catering.' 'Anyway here's him with his KFC buffet because it's his wedding too.' Fair from being annoyed that she didn't get her way with the food, the bride said they had saved so much money in the process with the total coming to $800AU (£390). Monique added: 'Was way cheaper than getting it catered and everyone loved it. '$8AU (£3.89) per person compared to the $120 (£58) we kept getting quoted.' Many people clearly loved the informal and tasty idea, with the video racking up over 130,000 likes. One said: 'I'm showing this to my man he would LOVE THIS.' Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause says 'I do' to G-Flip for a fourth time in Medieval castle ceremony Another added: 'I'd be thrilled if I was at this wedding!!' Even KFC commented, saying: 'For better, or for buffet.' However, some people weren't sure about the idea of dishing out fast food as a main meal at a wedding. One wrote: 'cold dried up chicken and rock hard fries. should have went with the three course.' MACCIES MEAL We previously shared how a couple decided to arrange for 300 McDonald's cheeseburgers and 150 hamburgers to be delivered for their 450 guests as a late-night treat. And the couple clearly share the same down-to-earth food tastes, as they even chowed down on some burgers on their way to their ceremony earlier the same day. The cheeseburger acts as a romantic reminder for the pair, who shared their first meal together at McDonald's six years ago after they met clubbing with a mutual friend. The couple had spent time planning for the delivery of the burgers, which they knew their guests would love, ordering the £700 burgers one month in advance.
