Lewis Capaldi to perform new single at Bafta TV Awards

Lewis Capaldi will give the first live performance of his new single at the 2023 Bafta Television Awards on Sunday, May 14.

The Scots star will perform the track, Wish You The Best, during what has been billed as the biggest night in the UK television calendar.

Capaldi’s debut album, Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent, sold over 10 million copies worldwide and became the biggest-selling UK album of 2019 and 2020.

It included two UK number one singles and earned him several Brit Awards and a Grammy nomination.

The singer is now embarking on his biggest-ever sold-out headline tour of North America on top of headline performances at Reading and Leeds festival in August, as well as a slot at Glastonbury.

Emma Baehr, executive director of awards and content at Bafta, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Lewis to the Bafta stage for the first live performance of his chart-topping single.

“It will be a magical moment as two powerful entertainment mediums come together to create a captivating performance.

“Audiences at home and in the room will be in for a treat, and we can’t wait to end this year’s awards season in style.”

Shows such as This Is Going to Hurt, The Responder, Bad Sisters and The Crown lead the nominations at this year’s Bafta Television Awards.

The Bafta Television Awards with P&O Cruises will be hosted by comedians Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan and will be broadcast on BBC One and iPlayer on Sunday at 7pm.

Ahead of the ceremony, viewers can tune into Clara Amfo and Michelle Visage live from the red carpet on Bafta’s YouTube channel.

The 26-year-olds performance will air on BBC One and iPlayer.
