What Will Lewis Capaldi Sing at Rod Laver Arena?

Lewis Capaldi is expected to perform a mix of his biggest hits and emotional ballads at Rod Laver Arena, based on his recent Glastonbury 2025 setlist.

Fans can look forward to songs like Before You Go, Grace, Hold Me While You Wait, Bruises, Survive, Forget Me, and the global anthem Someone You Loved.

The Melbourne show is likely to follow a similar structure, delivering the raw, heartfelt vocals that Capaldi is known for.

This was his Glastonbury 2025 performance order, which could reflect what fans will hear live in Melbourne.

• Before You Go
• Grace
• Hold Me While You Wait
• Bruises
• Survive
• Forget Me
• Someone You Loved

My 11-year-old already plays Bruises on the keyboard. If he performs that live, I will absolutely be in tears.

How to Get to Rod Laver Arena for the Lewis Capaldi Melbourne Concert

To get to Rod Laver Arena for the Lewis Capaldi Melbourne concert, the best options are public transport, rideshare, or pre-booked parking.

Trains to Richmond Station put you within a 10-minute walk of the venue, while trams on routes 70, 75, and the City Circle stop nearby. Some trams from the CBD are in the Free Tram Zone, making travel cheaper.

For drivers, the Eastern Plaza Car Park on Olympic Boulevard is the most convenient, but it must be pre-booked to avoid delays. Rideshare drop-offs are available near Entrance D, though pickup after the show may involve a wait due to heavy traffic.

We’ve been to concerts there as a family of five. Here is what we’ve learned.

Public Transport (Recommended)

• Train: Get off at Richmond Station, about a 10-minute walk to the arena.
• Tram: Routes 70, 75, and City Circle stop nearby.
• Free Tram Zone: Some routes from the city are free, no Myki required.

This is what we usually do. It avoids traffic and makes the walk feel like part of the night.

Driving & Parking

• Parking available at Eastern Plaza Car Park, entry via Olympic Boulevard
• Pre-book online to secure a spot and avoid stress
• Allow extra time for delays around Punt Road and Swan Street

Try arriving by 5:30pm if you want time for merch, toilets, and snacks without rushing.

Rideshare & Drop-Off

• Drop-off is easiest near Entrance D
• Pickup after shows can be slow, especially with crowds and wait times

Tips for Enjoying Lewis Capaldi Live at Rod Laver Arena

Small changes can make a big difference to your concert night, especially if you are bringing kids.

We’ve done everything from standing in merch lines to sneaking in wipes and lollies. These tips come from experience:

• Arrive early (~6:30 pm) to get settled before support acts
• Bag restrictions: Small bags only (A4 size max)
• Food lines are long, eat before or pack something small
• Merch sells fast, buy before the show starts
• Ear protection is helpful for younger kids
• Use the inside escalators for easier movement if bringing prams or with elderly family members

And yes, wet wipes and lollies are lifesavers.

Why the Lewis Capaldi Melbourne Tour Feels Bigger Than Music

This is Capaldi’s first full Australian tour since 2019, and it follows a two-year silence after his 2023 tour cancellation.

In that time, he spoke openly about managing Tourette’s Syndrome and the pressure of touring. His return began with a tearful Glastonbury performance, where he told fans:

“I couldn’t sing this song two years ago. I might struggle to finish it today for different reasons.”

His Melbourne concert is more than a show; it is a celebration of recovery, resilience, and fans who never gave up on him.

Capaldi has had massive success in Australia:

• Divine Uninspired to a Hellish Extent (2019) – #7 on ARIA Charts
• Broken by Desire to be Heaven Sent (2023) – #1 in Australia
• Hits: Someone You Loved (#4), Before You Go (#7), Forget Me (#21), Wish You the Best (#23)
