Lewis Capaldi in Munich - tickets for his live Olympiapark Süd concert with Bastille and Jessie Murph

Lewis Capaldi in München: an evening of grand ballads and a comeback chapter

Lewis Capaldi is coming to Munich's Olympiapark at a time when his career is once again gaining clear concert momentum. The performance on September 2, 2026 is part of the expanded SUPERBLOOM program, with Bastille and Jessie Murph also confirmed alongside Capaldi. It is an evening that brings together three different faces of contemporary pop: Capaldi's piano ballads and soaring choruses, Bastille's expansive indie-pop sound, and the modern blend of R&B, country and hip-hop delivered by Jessie Murph.

For Capaldi, this concert carries additional significance because it comes after his return to the stage and the release of the "Survive" EP. His current repertoire is no longer simply a retrospective of the biggest hits from the first half of his career. Newer songs now stand on equal footing alongside "Someone You Loved", "Before You Go", "Forget Me" and "Pointless", giving the audience a strong overview of both what made him globally recognizable and the direction in which he has been moving again in recent months.

Ticket sales for this event are underway.

Why "Survive" matters for this concert

Capaldi's comeback single "Survive" was released on June 27, 2025 and immediately showed that audience interest had not disappeared during his break from performing. The song reached number one in the United Kingdom, with 68,500 units in its first week - the biggest opening week of his career up to that point. It was his sixth UK number one.

The single was followed by the "Survive" EP, released on November 14, 2025. The original version contains four songs: "Survive", "Something in the Heavens", "Almost" and "The Day That I Die". In April 2026, the story was expanded with "Stay Love", a piano-led ballad that Capaldi first performed live at Madison Square Garden.

That is important context for München. Capaldi's recognizable formula has not disappeared - he still builds songs around a vulnerable vocal delivery, simple harmonic foundations and choruses that easily turn into mass audience singalongs. The difference is that the newer songs carry the additional weight of a return to the stage. "Survive" directly addresses endurance and the attempt to get back on one's feet, while "The Day That I Die" and "Something in the Heavens" continue his tendency toward emotionally exposed songwriting.

The hits that built Capaldi's concert identity

"Before You Go" also reached number one on the UK chart, and he later achieved the same result with "Forget Me", "Pointless" and "Wish You The Best". Several songs particularly define the range of his concert performances:

• "Someone You Loved" - a piano ballad and global breakthrough that became his concert signature.
• "Before You Go" - one of the strongest examples of how a quieter beginning in Capaldi's music grows into a huge communal chorus.
• "Forget Me" - a more rhythmically lively pop song that gives the set a break from the slower ballads.
• "Pointless" - a more romantic song that has also appeared in a more powerful rock arrangement at recent performances.
• "Survive" - the comeback song and one of the key moments of his current concert phase.
• "Something in the Heavens" and "The Day That I Die" - newer material that has already secured a stable place in his sets during the summer of 2026.

What his latest performances show

The concerts immediately preceding SUPERBLOOM provide the most useful indication of what to expect in München, but they are not a guarantee of a future set list. At his performance in Sefton Park in Liverpool on August 15, 2026, Capaldi performed, among other songs, "Hollywood", "Grace", "Heavenly Kind of State of Mind", "Wish You the Best", "Love the Hell Out of You", "Forever", "Bruises", "Pointless", "Something in the Heavens", "Before You Go", "The Day That I Die", "Hold Me While You Wait", "Forget Me", "Survive" and "Someone You Loved".

A very similar core appeared again a few days later in Belfast and on August 22 in Wythenshawe Park in Manchester. In Manchester, the performance lasted approximately from 20:55 to 22:20, once again combining songs from both studio albums and the "Survive" EP. This shows a relatively stable framework for the current concerts, but the München schedule and festival-concert format may influence the choice of songs.

It is therefore reasonable to expect a selection of the best-known ballads and newer material, but it is not reasonable to claim in advance an exact running order, covers or additions. Recent performances have also included covers, but their presence in München has not been confirmed.

Bastille and Jessie Murph are not merely incidental support acts

The program begins before Capaldi takes the stage, and the confirmed names give the evening a considerably broader musical range. Jessie Murph brings a contemporary blend of R&B, country and hip-hop, with lyrics that often rely on emotionally direct themes. Bastille, led by Dan Smith, occupies a different space - big, layered indie-pop with songs built for a broad festival audience.

That means arriving earlier makes sense even for visitors who are primarily coming for Capaldi. Instead of a conventional evening with a single short support performance, the program features three clearly recognizable performing identities.

According to the current SUPERBLOOM Concerts schedule, entry is planned from 17:00, while Capaldi's performance is scheduled from 20:30 to 22:00. The organizer reserves the right to change the timetable, so it is worth checking the schedule again on the day of the event. The announced concert is long enough that Capaldi does not have to reduce his performance to only the biggest singles.

It is worth securing tickets in time.

Olympiapark Süd and the new SUPERBLOOM format

SUPERBLOOM 2026 uses a different concept because of the renovation of Olympiastadion. Alongside the two main festival days at the end of August, the program has been expanded with separate concert evenings during the week. Capaldi's performance belongs to this new concert series, which distinguishes it from a traditional all-day festival schedule with a large number of artists performing in parallel.

The most important thing for visitors to know is that this is an outdoor concert within the large Olympiapark complex, not a concert in an indoor arena. This changes the practical preparation: it is worth allowing for walking through the park, checking weather conditions before setting out, and looking at the current map of entrances and the concert area in advance. Because of changes connected with the stadium renovation, it is not wise to rely on experience from previous events at Olympiastadion.

Olympiapark itself is one of the most recognizable urban sports and cultural complexes in Europe. It was created for the 1972 Summer Olympic Games, and today the park covers 85 hectares of green space, a lake, sports facilities and distinctive architecture with wave-shaped roof structures. Olympiastadion has been closed for renovation since September 2025, which is why major music programs are also being adapted to other parts of the complex.

How to get to Olympiapark

Public transport is the simplest choice for most visitors. Olympiapark has several approaches and entrances, and the most useful connections depend on which part of München you are coming from and which entrance is designated for the concert area.

• U-Bahn U3 runs to the Olympiazentrum station, from where Olympiapark is approximately a 10-minute walk away.
• Tram lines 20 and 21 stop at Olympiapark West.
• Tram line 27 stops at Petuelring, from where the park is approximately a 5-minute walk away.
• Bus connections include lines 144 and 173, as well as lines 177 and 178 via Petuelring.
• From the airport, it is possible to take S1 to Moosach and then continue with U3 or U8 toward Olympiazentrum, or take S8 to Marienplatz and change to U3.

For drivers, the situation on Landshuter Allee is particularly important. Olympiapark warns that construction work on the bridge over Dachauer Straße will continue until December 2026 and may cause congestion and make access to parking areas more difficult. The park explicitly recommends public transport because the number of parking spaces is limited. If you nevertheless arrive by car, it is useful to leave earlier and follow the latest traffic information.

According to Olympiapark information, tram line 20 is not affected by this construction work, and the Olympiapark West stop remains accessible. Riding and parking e-scooters is also prohibited throughout Olympiapark.

What to bring and how to plan the evening

Since this is an outdoor concert, practical preparation can significantly improve the evening. First, check the weather forecast and the latest entrance information. Rules concerning bags, bottles, professional photography equipment and other items may vary by event, so it is better to check the current list of permitted items than to rely on rules from an earlier concert at Olympiapark.

If you are coming from outside München, leave enough time between arriving in the city and the opening of the gates. Olympiapark is large, and during events some pedestrian and cycling routes may be temporarily diverted. For 2026, the park particularly warns of restrictions around Hans-Jochen-Vogel-Platz during the installation and removal of festival infrastructure.

Who this concert evening is for

The audience members who have followed Capaldi since "Bruises" and the debut album "Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent" will get the most out of it, because his current sets still draw heavily on that period. At the same time, this is not a concert that lives only on nostalgia. "Survive", "Something in the Heavens" and "The Day That I Die" show that the newer material has already become an important part of his performances.

The broader pop audience gets additional value from Bastille and Jessie Murph. The three artists have sufficiently different sounds that the evening does not turn into a succession of similar sets, yet all of them operate within a broad pop framework and rely on strongly recognizable vocals.

The biggest moments of Capaldi's performance will probably once again be those in which the audience takes over the chorus, but the specific songs and their order should be left to the evening itself. What can reliably be concluded from recent concerts is that the current phase connects the biggest hits with material from "Survive" without trying to erase what made him famous.

For visitors traveling to München, the smartest plan is simple: arrive early enough for the full program, use public transport wherever possible, check the timetable and entrance on the day of the event, and be prepared for outdoor conditions. That leaves more time for the reason for coming - Capaldi's voice, huge communal choruses and an evening that shows how his comeback phase sounds in front of an audience.
