Global superstar Lewis Capaldi releases the Live From North America EP, a surprise set that immortalises a handful of indelible moments from his biggest North American tour yet, which wrapped up less than 48 hours ago.
Go HERE to stream the collection now or to pre-order physical - the EP is also available as part of a T-shirt bundle, or on limited edition vinyl that is only able for purchase within a 72-hour window beginning today at 8 a.m. PST / 11 a.m. EST / 4 p.m. BST and running until same times on Monday, May 11.
Lewis shared a message ahead of the four-song set’s release: “Had the best tour of my life in North America and felt like I wanted to commemorate it somehow! Took some live recordings from some of my favourite shows and wanted to get them out for those of you that couldn’t be there x.”
Leading Live From North America is “Pointless (2026 Version)” from Capaldi’s biggest U.S. headliner to date at Madison Square Garden. The new rendition of the Scottish hitmaker’s 2022 single - which he co-wrote with Ed Sheeran, Johnny McDaid of Snow Patrol, and Steve Mac — replaces the original piano and strings with Capaldi’s distorted guitar strums, before building to arena-worthy, full-band rock. The romantic ballad’s final minute or so is as soaring as it ever was, but also explosive in the live setting.
That highlight is also joined by Capaldi’s tender new single, “Stay Love,” which he debuted on the tour and recorded during his two-night run at Colorado’s storied Red Rocks Amphitheatre. The stripped-back arrangement then carries us into the EP’s breezy back half: the driving “Hollywood (2026 Version),” an updated album cut from his 2019 debut Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent fittingly captured at the Hollywood Bowl; and 2022’s “Forget Me,” complete with a sing-along in Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena.
Live From North America arrives as Capaldi prepares to bring his tour to Europe for an extensive summer schedule that includes his biggest ever UK concerts: back-to-back sold-out days at BST Hyde Park, which has a per-concert capacity of 65,000 attendees. He’ll be supported by Conan Gray, Jacob Alon, and Absolutely on both days, while The Vaccines and others join on July 11 with special guests to be announced for July 12. He’s already sold 1 million tickets in 2026 alone. Full dates below.
Just last month, Capaldi unveiled his Survive Deluxe EP, which added “Stay Love” to a stunning body of work that already included four powerful fan favorites: the anthemic and autobiographical “Survive”; the soul-searching “Something In The Heavens”; post-breakup standout “Almost”; and the devastating “The Day That I Die,” each exploring different shades of loss, endurance, progress, and promise.
Survive has already proven to be a defining chapter in Capaldi’s career, with the title track becoming the UK’s fastest-selling single of 2025 as well as his sixth No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart. That achievement puts him in the esteemed company of Beyoncé, Britney Spears, Drake, Lady Gaga, and Queen. The project also marked his return following a period away from the spotlight, culminating in a widely celebrated Glastonbury performance that signaled both a personal and artistic reset. Upon the EP’s initial November release, Billboard wrote, “Lewis Capaldi is very much back.
Surviving, thriving.”
