Capaldi had been due for an appearance at Electric Picnic in 2023, but was forced to withdraw due to health reasons.

Speculation rose on the first night of his two Marlay Park gigs, when fans spotted on his dated tour tees that he's listed to play the festival.

Tickets for this year sold out in roughly 90 minutes during the general on-sale, and will take place from August 28 to 30, with up to 80,000 music fans flocking to the 600-acre Stradbally Estate.

Capaldi completed two nights in Marlay Park this week, supported by Bradley Marshall and CMAT. Playing new material such as 'Hollywood', 'Grace', 'Bruises', and 'Wish You The Best', and will appear in Thomond Park, Limerick this evening, and Boucher Road, Belfast on August 20.
