The Grammy-nominated singer and songwriter took to the stage on Yas Island dressed in black trousers and a black Anti Social Social Club T-shirt.
Capaldi's presence proved the perfect antidote to tensions that had built up ahead of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix season finale on Sunday, where a Formula One world champion will be crowned.
The singer, 25, kicked off the night with 'Forever' and the lyrics of the song rang out loud in the open-air space as the crowd joined in and sang along.
