Peter Capaldi
Ater his surprise appearance, joining fellow Scots Franz Ferdinand at the 2025 Glastonbury Festival for their song Take Me Out, actor Peter Capaldi – best known for playing Doctor Who, and Malcom Tucker in The Thick of It – returns to his first love, music.
The dark synths, fuzzy guitars and noirish romanticism of a young rocker trapped in the body of a beloved television veteran will be on show in select venues across the UK for two weeks only next year.
Peter comments, “I was in a band at art school, fired up by the punk explosion, we went out into the world in search of rock stardom, and well… I became an actor. But I never lost my love for music. And in recent years have produced two albums of original songs, ‘St.Christopher’ (2021) and this year’s ‘Sweet Illusions’. Recording, with all the advantages of the digital age is one thing, playing live is another, but I wanted to see if I could go out after all of these years and play live in front of an audience. Well let’s see what happens. I’ve lucked out with my band, a group of wonderful young musicians who have bravely come on board for the ride.’
