The Greek Theater was an amazing experience and truly allowed Capaldi to connect with his fans. The Theater has a capacity of 5,900 and is located near Griffith park. The sold out concert made getting in and out of the theater extremely difficult. Although, Capaldi’s compelling voice and hysterical personality made it all worth the trouble of getting in and out of the venue.
The band Medium Build opened for Lewis Capaldi and played multiple of their songs, one being called “Rage” where he got the audience to scream at the top of their lungs.
