Lewis Capaldi Stages Surprise Rooftop Gig at Nottingham Aldi Rebranded ‘Cap‑Aldi

The pop-up performance promoted his return to touring with a newly released single.

Overview

  • On September 26, the 28-year-old performed from the roof of Aldi’s West Bridgford store, drawing large crowds as cars briefly stopped outside.
  • He played “Something In The Heavens,” “Survive” and “Someone You Loved,” apologising for interrupting shoppers and joking about the store’s brioche buns and carrots.
  • The storefront sign was tweaked with a cardboard “Cap” to read “Cap‑Aldi,” and onlookers and staff captured the short set on phones.
  • Aldi UK publicly praised the stunt, with its chief commercial officer calling it unforgettable and saying Capaldi “turned an ordinary day into supermarket history.”
  • Nottinghamshire Live reported the footage will be used as an advert with a pre‑arranged crowd helping boost numbers, and Capaldi later played a scheduled arena show in Nottingham as part of his UK and Ireland tour.
