At the\u00a0Glastonbury 2025 festival on Friday, the Scottish band\u00a0Franz Ferdinand did a massive victory lap. Not only has the band just released a new album this year, The Human Fear, but it’s now been 21 years since the release of the band’s biggest hit song ever, “Take Me Out,” from their self-titled debut album.<\/p>\n
And to celebrate that song, and their return to\u00a0Glastonbury, the band recruited a fellow Scottish legend, actor and musician Peter Capaldi. DC fans will remember Capaldi as Thinker in\u00a0James Gunn’s<\/a> 2021 film The Suicide Squad, while\u00a0Doctor Who<\/a>\u00a0fans will forever regard Capaldi as the 12th Doctor from that long-running sci-fi series. But, more recently,\u00a0Capaldi has gone back to his roots of being a rocker<\/a>, a career he pursued decades ago before becoming an actor. He’s just released his second major album this year, and at\u00a0Glastonbury, Capaldi was brought on stage to play “Take Me Out” with\u00a0Franz Ferdinand. (You can watch the incredible performance below.)<\/p>\n “Alex [Kapranos]\u00a0just got in touch with me. We had some mutual friends who are musicians. I had been praising Franz Ferdinand, and I think that got back to them,” Capaldi said\u00a0in an interview with NME<\/a>.<\/p>\n When the band asked him to perform their most famous hit, “Take Me Out,” Capaldi’s answer was simple: “Yes, please!\u201d<\/p>\n If you’re wondering if Peter Capaldi is related to much-younger singer Lewis Capaldi, the answer is yes. They are\u00a0second cousins once removed, which is why when\u00a0Kapranos introduced Peter Capaldi at\u00a0Glastonbury, he called him “the original Capaldi.” Lewis Capaldi\u00a0also played the festival<\/a>.<\/p>\n Related: One ‘Suicide Squad’ Star Just Made a Major Career Change<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Last year, Capaldi told\u00a0NME\u00a0<\/a>that his newest album, Sweet Illusions, was partly inspired by the “fat guitars” of classic\u00a0Oasis <\/a>records. At 66, Capaldi is a bit older than the Gallagher brothers \u2014 Noel is 58, Liam is 52 \u2014 but that doesn’t mean he couldn’t hang with those guys, too. In fact, maybe, just maybe, Capaldi’s performance with Franz Ferdinand is only the beginning.<\/p>\n During the same concert, Franz Ferdinand also continued their collaboration with rapper Master Peace at\u00a0Glastonbury. Previously, Master Peace played with\u00a0Franz Ferdinand in Glasgow on June 24.<\/p>\n View the original article<\/a> to see embedded media.<\/strong><\/p>\n
