Sam Ryder Turns Train Ride to Glastonbury into Epic Surprise Concert
Imagine hopping on a train expecting a standard trip to Glastonbury Festival — and ending up in the middle of a surprise concert by Sam Ryder. That’s exactly what happened for a group of lucky passengers on June 26th, as the Eurovision star brought the house (well, carriage) down during a truly unforgettable journey from London Paddington.
Ryder, best known for his hit “Space Man,” didn’t just board the train to travel — he brought the festival spirit with him. Midway through the trip, he picked up the conductor’s mic and transformed from passenger to performer, delivering a high-energy acoustic set right in the aisle. Between cheeky announcements and full-throttle vocals, the carriage erupted into applause, cheers, and spontaneous singalongs. It wasn’t just a ride to Glastonbury; it was a celebration on wheels.

This wasn't a random act of spontaneity — it was all part of the "I Came By Train" campaign, a movement by Trainline designed to promote sustainable, low-carbon travel options for major events. The idea? Trains aren't just greener — they’re also a whole lot more fun, especially when Sam Ryder is your onboard entertainment. And honestly, if this is what train travel could look like, who wouldn’t be on board?
Earlier in the week, the campaign made headlines with the grand unveiling of the newly branded “Train Ryder” at London Paddington. Complete with flashing lights and his electric guitar in hand, Sam stepped off the train like a true rock star, officially launching the summer-long campaign. He even signed the train, which will remain in service throughout the season — a rolling tribute to both music and climate-conscious choices.
Ryder summed it up perfectly: “The energy on that train was unreal. ‘I came by train’ is all about doing something good for the planet — and having a great time doing it.” And that’s exactly what he delivered — an unforgettable blend of purpose and performance.
As more artists and festivalgoers jump on the green travel movement, Sam Ryder’s surprise gig proves that the journey can be just as exciting as the destination. So next time you plan your trip to a big event, maybe leave the car behind — who knows what kind of magic might be waiting for you on board.
