The singer's debut album Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent rocketed straight to the top of UK chart following it's release on May 17.

It has become the fastest-selling album of the year with almost 90,000 combined sales, beating the previous record set by Ariana Grande.

Capaldi took to the stage at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Middlesbrough on Saturday.

The 22-year-old followed this up with a visit to Tyneside to perform at the This is Tomorrow festival at Exhibition Park in Newcastle on Sunday.

And Capaldi has now shared footage from behind the scenes at the festival to his 2.2 million Instagram followers.

The montage on the singer's Instagram stories starts with clips of Capaldi preparing backstage.

He looks relaxed as he shares a few jokes with colleagues before geeing himself up to head out to perform.

Capaldi's song "Maybe" starts playing over as the video as the singer steps on to the stage and is greeted by cheers from the crowd.

The This is Tomorrow Festival was held at Exhibition Park over three days from Friday.

Among the stars to perform were the Foals, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds and the Stereophonics.
