Scottish singer Lewis Capaldi surprised shoppers with an impromptu gig on the roof of an Aldi supermarket in Nottingham. Performing his new single, *Something In The Heavens*, Capaldi entertained customers from the rooftop while the store temporarily rebranded itself as “Cap-Aldi” with a makeshift cardboard sign.
The 28-year-old singer joked during the performance, saying: “This is Capaldi on the roof of an Aldi. Sorry to get in the way of anyone’s shopping. I was back there earlier—some excellent produce, brioche buns, carrots, the lot.”
The rooftop set on Friday, which took place just days after the release of his new single, also included renditions of his hits *Survive* and *Someone You Loved*.
Capaldi is scheduled to perform later that night at the Motorpoint Arena in Nottingham, before heading to Dublin’s 3Arena for shows on Monday and Tuesday, September 29th and 30th.
The singer recently returned to the spotlight after a two-year break from touring, which he took to manage the symptoms of Tourette syndrome. His challenges became public during his performance at Glastonbury in 2023. However, Capaldi made a triumphant comeback earlier this summer with a surprise 35-minute set on the Pyramid Stage at the Somerset festival.
Since then, he has embarked on a UK and Ireland tour, describing the experience as “the most incredible, surreal feeling” after all shows sold out.
Looking ahead, it was announced earlier this month that Capaldi will headline both BST Hyde Park and the Roundhay Festival next summer. Additionally, he is set to perform at Dublin’s Marlay Park on June 23rd and 24th, 2026.
Julie Ashfield, Chief Commercial Officer at Aldi UK, expressed excitement about the event, saying: “It doesn’t get more heavenly than Lewis Capaldi on the roof of an Aldi. It feels like this moment was written in the stars. Our customers were treated to something truly unforgettable, and Lewis turned an ordinary day into supermarket history.”
Lewis Capaldi has achieved six UK number one singles, including *Before You Go*, *Pointless*, and *Wish You The Best*. Both of his studio albums have also reached number one on the UK Albums Chart.
