If you’re a pop music obsessive and after bang for your buck, there aren’t many better events than Capital’s Jingle Bell Ball. The annual event (and its summer edition, the Summertime Ball) puts together lineups of pop royalty; in recent years it has been headlined by the likes of Coldplay, Katy Perry, Alicia Keys, Busted, Take That, Stormzy and Dua Lipa.

The 2025 edition of Capital’s Jingle Bell Ball is headlined by all-conquering popstars Ed Sheeran and Kylie Minogue, with a lineup that also features the likes of RAYE, Jessie J, Alex Warren, Anne-Marie and Louis Tomlinson. It’s set to take place this coming weekend.
