Popheads, assemble! It’s that time of year again: the great and good of the music world are set to touch down at Wembley Stadium for Capital’s Summertime Ball, the annual bash packed with A-list talent and newcomers alike.
You can always rely on the annual event to put on an unmissable party, and this year’s is no exception. The one-day bonanza will kick off on Saturday June 6, officially getting summer underway.
An announcement video on social media showed Capital hosts Jordan North, Chris Stark and Siân Welby slipping on the sunnies in anticipation of the big day, which is just what we needed on a particularly grey day in London.
