Lewis Capaldi recently finished two nights in Dublin's Marlay Park where he had CMAT as his supporting act.
At the concert, Capaldi was selling merch, which included a t-shirt with the list of tour dates. Fans quickly noticed that the music festival was included.

A memorable moment of the concert was when a proposal took place in the crowd. Capaldi joked after the special moment that brought the couple attention, he said: "Don’t ever steal my spotlight again."
Elsewhere in the concert, the Scottish singer had to make it very clear that Niall Horan wasn't there. As the pair have such a strong friendship fans often speculate that Horan will make an appearance anytime Capaldi is in Ireland. He said to the crowd in Marlay Park,"Niall’s not f***ing here," to try and dismiss all of the rumours.
