Lewis Capaldi releases new song amid rumours of Glastonbury secret set
The 28-year-old last performed at Glastonbury in 2023 before taking a break citing anxiety and announced on New Year's Eve the same year that he planned to take a hiatus to focus on his health.
He has released a new song titled Survive and alongside a video montage, with the song playing, he wrote on Instagram: 'It's been a while…'.

Capaldi, from Bathgate, West Lothian, has Tourette's Syndrome and released his first album in 2019, with a second album following in 2023.
On New Year's Eve in 2023, Capaldi said in a lengthy Instagram post that he would 'continue taking some time to carry on looking after myself' following the announcement he would take a break from touring after struggling with his voice during his Glastonbury Festival set earlier in the year.
Capaldi explored how the pressures of fame have affected him mentally and physically in the Netflix documentary Lewis Capaldi: How I'm Feeling Now which was released in April 2023.
His critically-acclaimed 2019 debut album Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent emerged as the biggest-selling UK album of both 2019 and 2020.

His hit songs include 2019's Someone You Loved, 2020's Before You Go and 2022's Forget Me.
This year's Glastonbury line-up features a number of acts listed as TBA, with a Friday slot on the Pyramid Stage at 4.55pm speculated as one Capaldi could perform in, but this has not been confirmed.
Also among the music stars rumoured to be performing a secret set at Glastonbury is New Zealand singer Lorde, whose fourth studio album, Virgin, has just been released.

Summer sizzlers! It's the 20 hottest TV shows of the season
The big one. The uberviolent South Korean juggernaut – still Netflix's most popular show ever – reaches the end point … and Player 456 is still in the game. What will happen after the armed rebellion? Will he figure out he's playing alongside Frontman? And will he make it out alive? The show's creator Hwang Dong-hyuk opened up about the denouement this week, telling fans it's bleaker than ever. Apparently after watching, we'll be left shaking and asking ourselves: 'How much humanity do I have left in me?' One thing's for sure: there'll be no let-up. Expect gore galore. Out now, Netflix The one Lena Dunham fans have been waiting for. Eight years after the end of Girls, she makes a welcome return to television. The ever-excellent Megan Stalter – AKA the hilariously ditzy agent Kayla in Hacks – plays Jess, an American ad executive who is obsessed with classic British love stories. When her deadbeat boyfriend leaves her for an influencer who makes lipgloss – 'no one is fucking an influencer in the works of Jane Austen!' – she decides to take her broken heart to London in 'the Kingdom of United' and start over. When she arrives, she's devastated to discover that her new 'estate' isn't quite the verdant paradise she dreamed it would be. Promptly, of course, Jess meets her very own Mr Darcy – indie rocker Felix. 10 July, Netflix A teenager is panicked to find himself waking up in a mysterious institution full of youngsters who possess special abilities, and he has every reason to be scared – he's in a Stephen King adaptation. Given that the author was one of the inspirations for Stranger Things, and this tale of a totalitarian bootcamp for telekinetic children feels as though it's drawing on Eleven's backstory, it has the sense of the author coming full circle. But if this stays true to his 2019 novel, we are in for plenty of creeping dread and commentary on Trump's America. 13 July, Prime Video A gorgeous will-they-won't-they romance that spans decades. Daniel is a music journo who has harboured a secret lifelong devotion to his first love Alison, who mysteriously disappeared from their home town Sheffield when they were teens. Decades later, they find each other online and, though they're both married, start sending each other tunes from their youth. The stars – Jim Sturgess and Rory Walton-Smith as older and younger Daniel, and Teresa Palmer and Florence Hunt as older and younger Alison – are wonderful across the board, and the soundtrack is stuffed with 80s bangers from New Order to the Cure. It's a yearning look at what it's like to marry the wrong person – and why first love might be right all along. 15 July, BBC Two Such is the prevalence of cosy crime – and the star wattage of Mark Gatiss – that this postwar comedy-drama has been recommissioned before the first season has even started. Gatiss stars as Gabriel Book, owner of Book's bookshop, a kooky gent with a passion for puzzles – what else! – who helps the police solve murder cases. But the plot thickens when he gives mysterious ex-con Jack a job in the shop and lets him move into their attic ('He's like Mrs Rochester – only slightly more butch!'). An arch, high camp slice of crime-solving fun. 16 July, U&Alibi Based on the beloved novel by Esi Edugyan, this is the story of how a boy called George Washington 'Wash' Black escapes from slavery. At the age of 11, he is spotted poring over a feat of engineering and plucked from the cotton fields by a white scientist named Titch who is trying to make an almighty flying machine. Soon Titch spots his talent for drawing and keeps him on as an aide until he's grown up – but when he tries to leave, Titch's brother sets a bounty hunter on him. Sterling K Brown stars and executive produces what is clearly a passion project. 23 July, Disney+ Keeley Hawes is a retired assassin on holiday with her son (Freddie Highmore) – and he wants answers. The questions he's nurturing on their tense Greek island sojourn: Why are you so frustratingly distant? How do you explain this unexpected new information on my paternity? Wait, who are those terrifying people? And what do you mean we have to go on the run? Should be lots of tense, action-packed fun. July, Prime Video Bereft fans who are desperately missing Race Across the World and those who are giddy with anticipation for The Celebrity Traitors in autumn – ie, all of us – should look no further than Destination X. This wild adventure gameshow overseen by Rob Brydon takes contestants, lumps them in a 'blacked-out' bus and drives them to a mystery location somewhere in Europe. Turning the whole continent into essentially a giant chess board, they have to take on challenges to try to establish where they are – and the closest guess gets to stay in the game. July, BBC iPlayer Yes, humanity is the dominant animal on Earth. But since homo sapiens' development 250,000 years ago in Africa, we have no written record of 98% of our journey. Paleoanthropologist Ella Al-Shamahi tries to change that in this five-part BBC science series, by using DNA breakthroughs and fossil evidence to dive into our deep historical past. If its claim that it will provide a totally new perspective on what makes us human is to be believed, this will be a gamechanger. July, BBC One From Cracker to Time, a Jimmy McGovern show is always a must-watch – even one as harrowing as this. Anna Friel stars as Anna, whose brother Joe (a truly devastating Bobby Schofield) sexually assaulted his young nephew Tom a few years ago. As we meet Joe, he is leaving prison a shell of a man and goes to stay at a halfway house run by Sister Katherine, played by Anna Maxwell Martin, for therapy and horrifying realisations about the abuse he himself has faced. A brutal look at a family torn BBC One This super fun buddy-comedy starring Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne and their incredible chemistry has flown under the radar but it's well worth catching up ahead of its second outing. Best mates Sylvia and Will have always got up to high jinks … and this season, there will be mishaps from exploding eyeballs to kayaking through rivers of excrement, plus one of the funniest scenes of the year courtesy of Sylvia's rogue dog. 6 August, Apple TV+ The hotly anticipated follow-up to Tim Burton's staggeringly popular Addams Family spin-off sees Steve Buscemi join as the new headteacher of Wednesday Addams' school, Nevermore Academy, and Joanna Lumley pitch up as her grandmother. Paired with the return of Jenna Ortega's award-winningly intense take on the titular character, yet more creepy, kooky and altogether ooky fun awaits. 6 August, Netflix Noel Hawley, the brains behind the ace TV adaptation of the Coen Brothers' Fargo, takes the helm for this small-screen leap into the world of Ridley Scott's sci-fi classic. It's set on earth and serves as a prequel to the original 1979 movie, Alien. When a space ship crash lands, the contents turn out to not exactly delight people who like to go through life without an alien clasped to their face. Given what Hawley achieved with Fargo, this could go down as the greatest outing for Scott's franchise in decades. 12 August, Disney+ Disney's dramatisation of Knox's 2007 conviction and later acquittal of the murder of Meredith Kercher sees Knox herself feature as an executive producer, alongside Monica Lewinsky. Sharon Horgan stars as Knox's mum and Grace Van Patten plays Knox, after her recent role in steamy US drama Tell Me Lies. Given how gripped the world was by the last telling of this tale – Netflix's 2016 film, Amanda Knox – it is sure to be all anyone talks about for a month. 20 August, Disney+ Suranne Jones and Julie Delpy star as the liberal British prime minister Abigail Dalton and populist French president Vivienne Toussaint in this classic slice of globetrotting Netflix fare. When Dalton's husband Alex is abducted on a Médecins Sans Frontières mission in French Guiana, the only one who can ensure his release and safe return is Toussaint. But the abductors have something dodgy on her too … 21 August, Netflix Move over, Elton! The most excitable man on social media, trainspotter Frances Bourgeois, ditches his biggest passion – squealing with glee at passing locomotives – to pursue his other childhood obsession: becoming an astronaut. He gets G-force training from none other than Tim Peake, Mr Space Oddity himself, and sees if he has what it takes to pass muster in space. Sure to be hours of unadulterated joy in a non-gravity environment. August, Channel 4 Like The Traitors meets probate (stay with me), this Channel 4 show sees contestants compete to inherit a fortune left by a glamorous benefactor known only as 'the Deceased'. Viewers will know her better, however, as 'Liz Hurley'. Rob Rinder draws on his legal past to play her will's executor, and leads contestants through challenges, while they attempt to convince each other that they should be the sole heir to the cash. Made by the company behind the Winkleman smash, expect big, backstabby things. August, Channel 4 Jaime Lannister is William the Conqueror in this BBC historical epic. Or at least Game of Thrones's Nikolaj Coster-Waldau dives back into the land of dingily lit castles to tell the tale of the events leading up to the Battle of Hastings. James Norton, Juliet Stevenson and Clémence Poésy also star in an eight-parter that shows the clash that set the course of a continent for 1,000 years. Brace yourself for the arrow through the eye scene! August, BBC One Jacob Elordi is Dorrigo, a young medic engaged to be married and about to be shipped off to war when he has a love affair with his uncle's wife, Amy. He falls for her utterly when she shows him her favourite three-word Sappho poem, 'You burn me'. Across two timelines, we see the horrors of war as he ends up a PoW in Thailand forced to build the train lines that became known as the 'death railway'. We also see him as an older surgeon (played by Ciarán Hinds) still haunted by the hell of his capture and the love of Amy. Tender, sexy TV that almost throbs with desire – for what you can't have, and what you once had. TBC, BBC One/iPlayer Like ER crossed with 24, this thrilling medical drama plays out in real time hour by hour in one busy and very bloody shift for the doctors and nurses of Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital. Created by John Wells of ER renown, and starring Noah Wyle (ditto – Carter fans assemble!) it's a high-octane reunion indeed. Wyle plays Dr 'Robby' Robinavitch, the attending who has to contend with constant calamities, rats on the loose in the ward and multiple newbies who are out of their depth … and then there's an emergency at a festival nearby. Already one of the most gushed-about shows of the year in the US, The Pitt urgently needs a UK air date – and stat! Date and channel TBC

All the stars rumoured to be surprising Glastonbury fans including big comeback
From mystery acts, cryptic Instagram posts and surprise appearances - fans are eager to know all the secrets sets at this weekend's Glastonbury and we've pulled together everything we know Worthy Farm is already buzzing as thousands have poured through the gates of Glastonbury 2025, with its music performances kicking off in style today. While most festival-goers have their must-see acts circled on the line-up, it's the secret sets that really set pulses racing – with Lorde already surprising a huge crowd at Woodsies this morning. This year's line-up has been drip-fed to fans for months, with headliners locked in and new names randomly popping up. But regulars know the secret sets are the ones to look out for. Every summer, the festival loves to throw in a few wildcards. It starts with whispers, cryptic clues buried in the programme, and the sort of social media speculation only Glastonbury can ignite. The X (formerly Twitter) page @secretglasto has been working overtime, tipping off eager fans about the biggest do we know so far? Let's take a look! Lorde Royal songstress Lorde graced the Woodsies stage this morning, with a secret set being played to a crowd which was so packed that festival bosses had to close off the area. A source told the Mirror: "It's sweltering inside the tent given the amount of people crammed inside. Bosses are urging people to stand up off the floor to make room. Some people are leaving as it's so intense." However, as the crowd spilled outside the tent, the source added: "Bosses have now shut down Woodsies as crowds are so big with a festival-wide message saying: 'Woodies is now full'." Lewis Capaldi Two years ago, Lewis Capaldi's Pyramid Stage set left fans in tears as they sang him through a powerful moment when his Tourette's made it hard to finish. Today, exactly two years on, he's released Survive, a raw track reflecting on anxiety, voice loss and that emotional performance, a move many believe is a clear nod he's about to return. Fans have already spotted posters around the site revealing his name and a set time, though there's still no official word. But when the lyrics, timing and buzz all line up like this, it feels almost certain he'll take to the stage. Robbie Williams Robbie's been toying with us for weeks, dropping hints about a Glastonbury comeback, three decades after he first crashed the festival as a newly-solo star. At first, fans got excited when he changed his Facebook photo to a 1995 backstage snap but with tour dates abroad, people assumed it was off the cards. . This morning, though, he posted two photos on X captioned simply '30 years later…' One showed a plaque reading: 'Robbie Williams entered this area without accreditation, authorisation, or alignment with prevailing taste. His presence was uninvited, unofficial and ultimately inevitable.' The second was the iconic 'Welcome to Glastonbury' sign - All signs lead to a Glasto comeback. Chappell Roan Finally, there's the mystery act billed only as 'Patchwork,' due to hit the stage Saturday at 6:15pm. The internet has been in meltdown over who it could be; guesses range from Pulp to Lorde, or even Chappell Roan. But it was Chappell herself who sparked a frenzy of speculation, posting a snap clutching a patchwork quilt with the caption 'insane vibe.' Between the post and the timing, it's looking very likely the Good Luck, Babe! singer is planning a surprise. With the weekend stretching ahead, we can expect more bombshell appearances no one saw coming. Because at Glastonbury, some of the best moments are often the ones that aren't on the schedule.
