Noah Kahan sent fans wild after he brought out Lewis Capaldi as a surprise guest at his headline show at BST in Hyde Park on Friday.
After an incredible set including guest appearances from Gracie Abrams and Gigi Perez, the singer saved the best for last after he brought out the Scottish hitmaker for his penultimate song Northern Attitude.
Following the song’s first verse and chorus, the lights went dark before a mystery guest was seen running on to the stage.
And as the second verse began, the lights went up to reveal Lewis, with the fans going wild for the pair’s collaboration.
The duo wore matching Chelsea football shirts while singing the emotional ballad together in Lewis’ second UK festival appearance in just one week.
Lewis made his epic return to the stage last weekend for a surprise set at Glastonbury following a difficult few years.

He took a two-year hiatus to focus on his mental health and ‘adjust’ to his Tourette’s diagnosis after he was left unable to finish his Glastonbury set back in 2023.
But he reduced fans to tears when he finally returned to Glastonbury over the weekend, and his comeback has been nothing short of exceptional.
Lewis also released brand new track Survive on Friday, which details his difficult two years – and it’s been a huge hit with millions of fans across the country as it has topped the charts.
Lewis has landed not only his biggest ever opening, but the largest first week of any single released this year with the comeback track in a landslide achievement.
Survive has shifted a whopping 68,500 units in its first week, including more than four million streams, surpassing the much-loved singer’s previous best of 56,000 with the 2022 song Forget Me.
Gushing about the support he’s received since his highly-anticipated comeback last week, Lewis said: ‘Survive is this week’s UK Number 1, and I want to say a massive thank you to everybody who’s been streaming it, downloading it – it really means the world.
‘I’ve been away for a little while and to come back to this outpouring of love and support has been absolutely incredible.
‘I can’t thank everybody enough for all the kind words since Glastonbury – and now this!

‘It’s been the best week of my life. I hope you continue to enjoy the song, it means a lot to me.’
Lewis pipped producers MK and Chrystal to top spot as their track Dior sat in second in place, while filling the remaining three spots in the top five were Sabrina Carpenter’s Manchild, Rayvn Lenae’s Love Me Not and Pink Pony Club by Chappell Roan.
Such is the mania surrounding Lewis’ return that the public’s interest in his old music has too sky-rocketed after he made a tearful return to Glastonbury last week.
Streams of Someone You Loved shot up by 115 per cent, while his 2019 chart-topping album Divinely Inspired surged by 198 per cent.
Lorde, who took to the stage just hours before Lewis at Glastonbury last Friday, also scored her first ever Number 1 album in the United Kingdom this week with Virgin.
She beat competition from Bruce Springsteen’s Tracks II (second), Short N Sweet from Sabrina Carpenter (third), and Ed Sheeran in fourth spot.
The New Zealand-born singer, whose racy new vinyl cover sparked controversy, said she couldn’t believe the support she’s received since the new album dropped.
Speaking to the Official Charts, Lorde gushed: ‘I cannot believe that I’ve got Number 1 in the UK! This is absolutely insane.

‘I felt so much love from the UK on Virgin. I cannot thank you enough and I cannot wait to see you on tour very, very soon!’
Glastonbury was quite the star-studded affair but a major highlight was Lewis’ emotional return to the spotlight.
Greeted by huge cheers from the thousands at Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage last week, he made an emotional return two years after he was left unable to finish his set at the festival.
He tearfully told supporters: ‘Two years ago I wasn’t sure if I’d ever do this again, but I’m back baby!’
Lewis sung a number of his famous hits, before once chocking back tears as he performed Survive for the first time in front of scores of supporters.
Fans in the crowd could be seen crying and calling out his name before joining him in a rendition of mega-hit Someone You Loved.
In his emotional speech, Lewis said: ‘Glastonbury it’s good to be back. Won’t say too much up here today as if I do I might start crying, but I can’t thank you enough for coming here and being with here’.
‘Second times a charm hey! It’s a short set today but just wanted to come and finish what I couldn’t last time, also this was like the worst kept f*****g secret ever’.
The Someone You Loved hitmaker announced a new tour this week, which will see him play 10 dates later this year
Amid the success of the performance and that of his tear-inducing new single, the Scotsman announced a new tour this week consisting of 10 dates.
The Someone You Love singer will play venues in Sheffield, Aberdeen, Birmingham, Nottingham and two days at the 02 later this year.
Lewis confirmed on Instagram that these would be his ‘only shows’ in the UK, Ireland and Europe this year.
Pre-sale tickets go on sale on July 8, while general sale is on July 10.
