To say Lewis Capaldi had a rapid rise to fame would be somewhat of an understatement. After releasing his EP ‘Bruises’ in 2017, he quickly became a household name, becoming the fastest unsigned artist to reach 25 million plays on Spotify.
His hit songs, ‘Someone You Loved’ - which reached number 1 in the US - and ‘Bruises’, ‘Hold Me While You Wait’, confirmed his star status and his album ‘Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent’ topped 1 million UK sales, and more than 3 billion streams worldwide.
His Castlefield Bowl gig will be the second time the Scottish singer has performed in Manchester this month, after taking to the stage at Parklife Festival just a few weeks ago. It might have been three years since he released any new music, but he’s still drawing in the crowds.
