Jordan North, Capital Breakfast presenter

The line-up for night two of Capital’s Jingle Bell Ball with Barclaycard on Sunday December 7th will be revealed on Capital Breakfast tomorrow morning, Thursday November 6th, from 7am.

Global superstar Ed Sheeran will perform at this year’s Capital’s Jingle Bell Ball with Barclaycard. Fresh from releasing his eighth studio album Play, featuring the Number 1 single Azizam, which topped The Official Big Top 40 from Global for five weeks, and with more than 200 million records sold worldwide, Ed is one of the biggest artists on the planet.

 

Eight-time BRIT Award-winner RAYE joins this year’s line-up for another hotly-anticipated performance. The British singer-songwriter has delivered a run of huge hits, including her latest release WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!?, and in a world exclusive, she’ll be joined by her sisters Absolutely and Amma live on stage. Her return to Capital’s Jingle Bell Ball with Barclaycard promises to be one of the night’s standout moments.

Anne-Marie, one of Capital’s most-loved artists, will light up The O2 with a set packed with her biggest hits. The star has collaborated with David Guetta, Doja Cat, Rudimental and Niall Horan, and continues to wow fans with her latest single DEPRESSED, released in September.

Leigh-Anne will also take to the Jingle Bell Ball stage this December. Rising to fame as part of one of the best-selling girl groups of all time, Little Mix, she has since carved out a stellar solo career. Her highly-anticipated debut album My Ego Told Me To drops next month, ahead of her first solo tour in 2026.

 

British hip-hop duo Rizzle Kicks make a triumphant return to Capital’s Jingle Bell Ball with Barclaycard after last performing in 2013. The Mama Do The Hump stars thrilled fans when they announced new music earlier this year – and they’re sure to have The O2 “down with the trumpets” once again.

Mimi Webb is also back, bringing her powerhouse vocals and pop anthems House on Fire and Red Flags to The O2. Currently on her European Confessions Tour, Mimi’s live shows have made her a firm favourite with Capital listeners.

Ghanaian-American artist Moliy joins the line-up for her biggest UK show to date. Known for her infectious sound and this year’s breakout hit, Shake It to the Max, she’s set to bring festive sparkle and her signature style to The O2.

Internationally-renowned DJ and producer Sonny Fodera will take over The O2 on Saturday night. With millions of fans around the world, Sonny guarantees an unforgettable dance music moment at the Ball.

New for 2025, the Capital Buzz Artist slot, presented by Capital’s Gen-Z pop-culture brand Capital Buzz, shines a spotlight on emerging talent. Saturday’s Buzz Artist is Alessi Rose, an exciting new voice, making her debut at Capital’s Jingle Bell Ball with Barclaycard. The rising star has been championed by Capital as one to watch, after impressing audiences across the globe as the opening act for Tate McRae and Noah Kahan on their recent tours.

“Capital’s Jingle Bell Ball with Barclaycard is the UK’s biggest Christmas party and the perfect way to kick off the festive season in style. There’s nothing quite like seeing The O2 packed with Capital listeners, singing along to the biggest stars in the world. It’s an incredible moment every year, and this line-up is truly first class.”
Ashley Tabor-King CBE, Founder & Executive President of Global
