Zara Larsson is a Swedish pop singer and songwriter, born in Stockholm in 1997.

In 2019, Zara Larsson supported Ed Sheeran on European dates of the ÷ Tour. She later headlined the Poster Girl Tour, and her 2024 Venus Tour included a London performance at the Roundhouse.

Lewis Capaldi is a Scottish singer-songwriter born in Glasgow in 1996. He is known for piano-led pop ballads, particularly “Someone You Loved” and “Before You Go,” and for the albums Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent and Broken by Desire to Be Heavenly Sent. In 2018, he opened for Sam Smith on the European leg of The Thrill of It All Tour and for Niall Horan on the Flicker World Tour. His own Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent Tour followed, while the Broken by Desire to Be Heavenly Sent Tour brought him to arenas in 2023. During his Glastonbury set that year, symptoms of Tourette syndrome affected his voice, and the audience completed portions of “Someone You Loved.” He has headlined theatres as well as arenas, including the OVO Hydro in Glasgow and The O2 in London.
