You can track the passage of time by the seasons, or the rise and fall of the sun, or Capital’s summertime/winter balls.
Twice every year, Capital FM takes over Wembley Stadium or the O2: once for the Summertime Ball, and another for the Jingle Bell Ball. We’ve officially reached Jingle Bell season, and earlier today (November 5) the first round of artists for this year’s festive party were revealed live on air.
The ball will take place this year at the O2 Arena on Saturday December 6 and Sunday December 7, with a different star-studded line each night. Right now, we only know who will be playing on the 6th, but check back tomorrow to find out who’s been announced for the 7th.
This year some huge names will be heading to the O2, Capital radio host Jordan North said to expect ‘massive surprises and more festive sparkle than ever’, so it should be a good one.
Tickets will go on sale later this week (and likely sell out very quickly) – here’s everything you need to know about the 2025 Capital Jingle Bell Ball.
