Calvin Harris leads second wave of Capital Summertime Ball 2026 line-up

Calvin Harris has been announced as part of the latest line-up for Capital’s Summertime Ball with Barclaycard, as the UK’s biggest summer music event continues to build its bill for Wembley Stadium.

The new names were revealed this morning on Capital Breakfast by Jordan North, Chris Stark and Siân Welby, adding to yesterday’s first wave announcement and further strengthening the line-up ahead of the show on Saturday 6 June.

Joining the bill are Calvin Harris, Sienna Spiro, Lola Young, Jason Derulo, XG, Stephen Sanchez and MEEK, alongside previously confirmed acts including RAYE, Niall Horan, Fatboy Slim and Myles Smith, with more performances expected on the day including the Barclaycard Out of the Blue slot.

Three-time BRIT Award-winner Calvin Harris returns to the Summertime Ball for the fourth time, bringing a catalogue of major hits including We Found Love, One Kiss and Blessings, with his set expected to deliver another standout Wembley moment.

Sienna Spiro is among the breakthrough artists stepping onto the stage this year, following the success of her single Die On This Hill and a growing profile after being shortlisted for a BRIT Award this year.

Lola Young also returns to the Ball, having become a strong favourite with Capital listeners through tracks including Messy and One Thing, while continuing to build on both critical and commercial success.

Jason Derulo makes his return to the event for the first time since 2015, bringing a run of global hits including In My Head, Whatcha Say and Ridin’ Solo, adding a familiar pop presence to the line-up.

International acts are also featured, with Japanese group XG confirmed as this year’s Capital Buzz Artist, highlighting emerging global talent as they continue to grow their fanbase through genre-blending releases and a current world tour.

Stephen Sanchez joins the bill following the success of his breakout hit Until I Found You, while rising artist MEEK is set to perform at Wembley for the first time after gaining attention with her track Fabulous.

Tickets go on general sale tomorrow, 30 April at 9am exclusively on Global Player.
