Summertime Ball
Capital's Summertime Ball is a mini-festival in London, usually held on either first or second Saturday or Sunday of June by the radio station Capital. The first ball was at Emirates Stadium in 2009, and it has since been held at Wembley Stadium. The 2020 Summertime Ball was to be held at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium because Wembley was due to host games of Euro 2020, but was eventually cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The concert is subsequently shown on ITV1 and ITVX as best bits from the event.
The event is promoted and broadcast by the Capital network. There have been five different sponsors and lead partners since its first event. From 2012 until 2018, Vodafone UK was the sponsor. In 2009, Barclaycard sponsored the ball. In 2010 ASOS.com sponsored the event, with Starbucks sponsoring the event in 2011. There was no official sponsor in 2019, although Apple Music was a presenting partner for that year's edition in a last-minute deal. Barclaycard once again sponsored the event from 2022, and remains the present sponsor, also sponsoring the Jingle Bell Ball.
The first Summertime Ball took place on Sunday 7 June at Wembley Stadium, with headline acts Kelly Clarkson, Leona Lewis and Akon. The supporting headliners were Blue and Katy Perry.
The event was hosted by Capital London presenters Rich Clarke, Kat Shoob, Lisa Snowdon and Johnny Vaughan, and was sponsored by Barclaycard.
Summertime Ball took place on Sunday 6 June at Wembley Stadium. The backstage action ran from 10am to 4pm, while the Ball itself started at 4pm and ended at 9:30pm. It was hosted by Capital Breakfast DJs Johnny Vaughan and Lisa Snowdon.
The Summertime Ball 2011 was sponsored by Starbucks and took place on Sunday 12 June at Wembley Stadium. American singer Jennifer Lopez was the headline act for this year's ball. Tickets for the event sold out on 3 June 2011. However, in the weeks running up to the Summertime Ball, Capital held on-air competitions to allow listeners to win tickets to the event.
The first Summertime Ball to be aired across the Capital network of radio stations was presented by James 'The Bassman' Bassam, Greg Burns and Rich Clarke. Roberto presented interactive content and Kat Shoob was a backstage reporter.
The Summertime Ball 2012 was sponsored by Vodafone and took place at Wembley Stadium on Saturday 9 June 2012. Katy Perry and Coldplay were both headline acts for this year's ball, with Justin Bieber and Jessie J being supporting headline acts. The line-up for this year's event was announced on localised Capital Breakfast shows across the United Kingdom on 21 April 2012. This year the event features a brand new logo. Ticketmaster sold out in all categories.
