Lewis Capaldi surprises fans with rooftop gig at Nottingham Aldi
Lewis Capaldi left shoppers in awe with an unexpected rooftop concert at Nottingham Aldi.
Lewis Capaldi has surprised shoppers with a rooftop gig on top of Nottingham Aldi.
Perhaps quite fittingly, the Scottish superstar performed new hit single Something In The Heavens today (Friday, September 26).
The middle aisle is usually where people can find random but very cool items. Lewis Capaldi could well have said ‘hold my beer’ to the middle aisle as he took to Aldi rooftop to belt out Someone You Loved and Survive in front of unsuspecting customers.
In tribute the Aldi store has been rebranded Cap-Aldi by the singer to mark the performance.
The Scottish superstar took a break from his UK tour to perform Something in the Heavens, Someone You Loved and Survive in front of unsuspecting customers at The Becket Way store in West Bridgford.
It comes just months after Aldi rebranded its store in Prestwich ‘Aldeh’ ahead of Oasis concerts in Heaton Park.
Shoppers doing their weekly shop were left stunned when Lewis Capaldi popped up on the roof of their local Aldi – rebranding the store ‘Cap-Aldi’ with a giant cardboard ‘Cap’ taped to the sign before breaking into an impromptu gig.
The set left local shoppers amazed as the internationally acclaimed singer songwriter took to the roof of their local store to delight them with his soaring vocals.
Capaldi sent Aldi customers into a frenzy as they realised their weekly shop had turned into a once-in-a-lifetime gig.
The surprise show comes during his triumphant return to the stage after a two-year break.
Already blazing through a monumental 200,000-ticket sold-out UK arena tour - hailed by fans and critics alike as nothing short of spectacular - Capaldi is once again proving his power to connect, with rapturous crowds already singing back every word of his latest anthems.
And he’s not stopping there, with worldwide gigs later this year, and his biggest-ever UK and Irish headline shows confirmed for summer 2026.
Kicking off at Dublin’s Marlay Park on June 23 2026, Capaldi will play twelve huge outdoor shows including two headline performances at London’s 65,000-capacity BST Hyde Park on July 11 - 12.
Lewis appears to be a fan of Aldi. He said: “This is Capaldi on the roof of an Aldi. Sorry to get in the way of anyone’s shopping. I was back there earlier, some excellent produce, brioche buns, carrots - the lot.”
Julie Ashfield, Chief Commercial Officer at Aldi UK, said: “It doesn’t get more heavenly than Lewis Capaldi on the roof of an Aldi – it feels like this moment was written in the stars.
“Our customers were treated to something truly unforgettable, and Lewis turned an ordinary day into supermarket history.”
