Today (May 23), it’s been confirmed that Capaldi will play a tiny gig at The Wardrobe in Leeds on June 6 with support from James Marriott.

Tickets will be available exclusively to R&L ticketholders (day or weekend) via a ballot, with all profits going to charity.

Capaldi’s forthcoming performance at the 400-capacity Leeds venue follows his 2023 UK and Ireland arena tour, which took place in January and February.

The Scottish artist subsequently embarked on a run of headline concerts in Europe, but that stint was ultimately cut short after he was diagnosed with bronchitis.

Capaldi has since toured in North America, and is currently out on the road for a string of intimate UK dates/Q&As.

Capaldi will top the bill at Reading & Leeds on Saturday, August 26 and Sunday, August 27, respectively. He’s headlining this year’s festival alongside Billie Eilish, Sam Fender, The Killers, Imagine Dragons and Foals.
