Capital Summertime Ball with Barclaycard Returns to Wembley Stadium
The Capital Summertime Ball with Barclaycard is set to return to London’s Wembley Stadium on June 15, 2025, with an incredible line-up of musical headliners confirmed. According to a report by the Daily Mail, American Oscar-winner Will Smith will join pop star Rita Ora and former Little Mix icon Jade Thirlwall at the annual event.
Will Smith, who has recently returned to the spotlight with his long-term collaborator DJ Jazzy Jeff for their new album “Based On A True Story”, will make a headline appearance at Wembley Stadium. The album was inspired in part by his fall from grace after assaulting comedian Chris Rock at the Academy Awards in 2022. As noted by the Daily Mail, Smith’s musical comeback will also include a headline slot at Wembley Stadium, where he and Jazzy Jeff will feature alongside a host of mainstream stars.
Rita Ora and Jade Thirlwall, who now performs as JADE, will also take to the stage at the event. JADE has previously performed at the annual event with Little Mix in 2015 and 2017 and has recently won a BRIT Award for Best British Pop Act in March. The Daily Mail reports that rising Canadian star Tate McRae is expected to feature alongside popular DJ and producer James Hype and country band Remember Monday.
The British country-pop girl group Remember Monday rose to fame after appearing on The Voice UK in 2019 and will take the stage at the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 as the UK entry, with their song “What The Hell Just Happened”. Singer-songwriter Myles Smith also joins the bill for Capital’s Summertime Ball with Barclaycard. Smith recently performed at this year’s BRIT Awards and will now be making his debut at the Ball this year, playing to his biggest audience to date.
Mariah Carey will headline Capital Summertime Ball with Barclaycard 2025, marking her first UK performance in six years. The pop icon, 56, will make her Summertime Ball debut at the annual event, with the star-studded musical lineup confirmed by Capital Breakfast presenters Jordan North, Chris Stark, and Siân Welby. Other performers include Benson Boone, KSI, Zara Larsson, Dasha, Reneé Rapp, and Jessie J.
The UK’s biggest summer party will return to Wembley Stadium on June 15, with 80,000 music lovers set to attend. The event will feature a range of musical acts, including Busted vs McFly, who will bring their legendary energy to the Summertime Ball with Barclaycard. Both BRIT Award-winning bands helped shape the soundtrack of a generation – and now, ahead of their 2025 tour, they’ll go song-for-song in an unmissable showdown.
As reported by the Daily Mail, Capital Breakfast’s Jordan North said: “We are absolutely buzzing to be back at Capital’s Summertime Ball with Barclaycard this year! We’ve just announced the first half of the incredible line-up on-air but be sure to tune in to Capital Breakfast tomorrow for even more names that will be playing!”
