Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber among artists for The Best of Capital’s Jingle Bell Ball

The pandemic has caused a halt to live concerts this year, so Capital’s Jingle Bell Ball, which normally takes place at London’s O2, isn’t happening.

Instead, the station is putting on a two-hour special live TV and radio show featuring performances from some of the world’s biggest artists to celebrate 12 years of the event.

Artists including Lady Gaga, One Direction, Justin Bieber, Ed Sheeran, Rita Ora, Jax Jones, Little Mix, Dizzee Rascal, Stormzy, Katy Perry, Shawn Mendes, Coldplay, Jason Derulo, Harry Styles, Tinie and more will be a part of The Best of Capital’s Jingle Bell Ball with Barclaycard.

The show will be hosted by Capital Breakfast’s Roman Kemp, Sian Welby and Sonny Jay and broadcast live around the world on Global Player, Sky One, YouTube and live on the radio on Capital.
