The winners of a Lewis Capaldi look-a-like contest have been crowned in Glasgow.

The Survive singer announced last week that he had partnered with Greggs to host contests at stores across the UK, including the Sauchiehall Street location in Glasgow.

Up for grabs were 25 pairs of free tickets to Capaldi’s upcoming tour which sold-out in minutes after they went on sale.

To be in with the chance of winning, fans had to queue up outside the store in their best cosplay of the Scottish Beyonce from 6pm on Tuesday.

Fans flocked to the store in Glasgow’s city centre dressed in some of the Forget Me’s singers most iconic looks.

The first ticket winner was Isabel Hunter who travelled all the way from Dunbar in East Lothian and was queuing from 7am.

Other winners included sisters Rachael and Nicole Gillespie.

Some fans opted to recreate the singer’s jacket, t-shirt and jeans combination often worn onstage with other’s wearing masks of his face.

Others went the extra mile and recreated one of Capaldi’s most iconic looks wearing a white towel on his head and 90’s style sunglasses.

Winners will now be heading to see Capaldi when he plays Glasgow OVO Hydro in September.

His tour announcement came after he triumphantly returned to the stage during a surprise set at Glastonbury.

It followed a two-year hiatus which Capaldi announced after struggling during a set at the same festival in 2023.

Speculation grew in the days leading up to the surprise set, with a billboard in Glasgow suggesting he may be releasing new music.

At midnight on June 27, the singer released a new single titled Survive, announcing the drop on social media, alongside the caption: “It’s been a while…”.

Hours later, he surprised thousands with a performance at Glastonbury, during which he told fans he wanted “to come and finish what I couldn’t finish last time”.
