Lewis Capaldi made a surprise comeback to Glastonbury this year, delivering a brief but powerful performance on the Pyramid Stage.
The moment marked his first major return since a difficult 2023 appearance, when he struggled with his Tourette’s and took an extended break for his well-being.
Fans and celebs alike praised his triumphant return.
But eagle-eyed followers watching on BBC iPlayer picked up on a subtle Celtic clue: Capaldi used guitar picks sporting the club’s iconic green four‑leaf clover, a nod to the Hoops spotted during close‑ups on stage.
It wasn’t highlighted in announcements, but clearly intentional just enough to let his fellow Celtic fans know.
Lewis Capaldi has always been open about his love for Celtic, often sporting Celtic gear.
Beyond the symbolism, Capaldi’s set showcased emotion and strength. He opened with “Before You Go,” introduced new single “Survive” (about his recent health challenges), and closed with a heartfelt take on his mega‑hit “Someone You Loved.” He even joked about feeling the emotions during his return: “I’m not going to say much up here or I’ll start crying.”
It was a powerful moment from a performer still clearly working through his own challenges, but never forgetting his affiliation with Glasgow’s Green and White. The Celtic plectrums were a quiet reminder that no matter the size of the stage, Capaldi still carries his love of Celtic with him.
