Secret Sets Spark Rumors

Ever since the Glastonbury 2025 lineup was unveiled, fans noticed gaps labeled as ‘TBA’ (To Be Announced) and began to wonder if Lewis Capaldi might be hiding a surprise performance in one of these slots.

Recently, mysterious billboards appeared in Capaldi’s hometown of Glasgow and in Castle Cary, near Glastonbury. These billboards showcased cryptic lyrics that fans quickly connected to the new song:

• “I’ve had my share of Monday mornings when I can’t get up”

Alongside these lines was a phone number that fans could text. When they did, they received an intriguing snippet of his upcoming single ‘Survive’ and a message from a sender named ‘TBA’.

Another lyric fans uncovered from the snippet says:

• “I’m gonna get up and live until the day that I die.”

When clicking a link included in the message, fans were teased with:

• “Wanna know who’s playing the secret set on Friday?”

“Me and my mates are sat racking our brains about this Castle Cary billboard. Pls say you know something. Is it Capaldi???”

The TBA Slot: A Spot for Capaldi?

One ‘TBA’ slot on Glastonbury’s marquee Pyramid Stage is scheduled for 4:55 pm Friday, just before Alanis Morissette, Biffy Clyro, and The 1975 take the stage. Fans believe this is the perfect window for Capaldi’s secret comeback.

This would mark his first festival performance since 2023, when he unfortunately had to cut his Glastonbury set short due to struggles with Tourette’s Syndrome tics.

The rumored 35-minute set (from 4:55 pm to 5:30 pm) fits the brief TBA slot perfectly, and fans hope this time Capaldi will finish strong.

Support and Comeback Story

Back in 2023, Capaldi’s premature Glastonbury exit was met with overwhelming support from festival-goers and the wider community. A mother of a teenager with Tourette’s called his performance:

“Amazingly powerful” and said she was “in tears” over it.

Following that, Capaldi took a necessary break from touring to focus on his health. He shared:

“I’m still learning to adjust to the impact of my Tourette’s,” calling the decision to pause his career “the most difficult decision of my life.”

Now, with a fresh single on the horizon, Capaldi is ready to re-emerge on the music scene.

Early Reactions to ‘Survive’

In places where it’s already Friday, fans have responded enthusiastically to the new track. Social media is buzzing with excitement and nostalgia.
