Capital Summertime Ball

The 2016 Capital FM Summertime Ball returned to Wembley Stadium with an incredible line-up involving some huge artists.

Marvin Humes and Ryan Lawrie opened up the pre-show entertainment but it was Little Mix who kicked off the main event and raised the decibel levels in the stadium!

It was a typically powerful and energetic performance by the girls who were clearly enjoying their return to Wembley. The girls performed classic hits including ‘Black Magic’, ‘Salute’ and also a glimpse of their new single, ‘Hair’.

Lukas Graham then made his debut performance at Wembley with a classy rendition of his major hit ‘7 Years’ and also an excellent cover of Justin Bieber’s ‘Love Yourself’.

Years and Years, Major Lazer’s Jillionaire and The Vamps all had the crowd on their feet dancing to the beat of their tune.

Will.i.am treated us to a mini medley of some absolute classic hits including ‘Wonderwall’, ‘Seven Nation Army’ and ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit which went down very well with his adoring fans.

As night time drew in, Sigala turned the stadium into one big dance floor as he pumped out tune after tune and had 80,000 people dancing.

There was a surprise guest appearance from Dizzee Rascal much to the delight of the crowd as he drove them positively ‘Bonkers!’

One of the highlights of the night was the performance by Craig David who took us back a few years by performing his hits ‘Fill Me In’ and '7 Days' much to the delight of the crowd.

However, one of the loudest cheers was saved for Ariana Grande who returned to perform at the Summertime Ball once again.

The night ended with a stunning performance from Tinie Tempah fresh from his set at Wembley prior to The FA Cup Final a few weeks ago. The crowd were putty in his hands and it was a fitting end to another amazing Capital Summertime Ball.
