Star-studded line up announced for Capital’s Jingle Bell Ball 2025

Capital’s Jingle Bell Ball with Barclaycard is back for 2025 and the huge line up for the two-night extravaganza has been announced!

Taking place at London’s O2 Arena on December 6 and 7, the line up is made up of some of the biggest artists of this year, as well as a host of rising stars who have risen on the charts over the past 12 months.

Saturday’s line up is headlined by two of the UK’s finest global superstars – Ed Sheeran and RAYE. Ed will be performing some of his greatest hits including number one since ‘Azizam’, taken from his eighth studio album Play. Woman of the moment RAYE will be making a welcome return to JBB, and will be joined by her sisters Absolutely and Amma. Fans can expect a sensational set including latest hit ‘WHERE IS MY HUSBAND?’.

Ed and RAYE will be performing alongside Anne-Marie, Leigh-Anne, Rizzle Kicks, Mimi Webb, Sonny Fodera and Moliy. New for 2025, there will also be a Capital Buzz Artist slot. Alessi Rose will perform on Saturday, following support slots on Tate McRae and Noah Kahan’s recent tours.

Sunday’s line up is equally impressive, led by pop icon Kylie Minogue as well as Louis Tomlinson and Alex Warren. With a career spanning more than three decades, Kylie will be bringing ALL the hits to the O2 stage. Louis will be making his solo JBB debut, after previous performing with One Direction, whilst Alex also makes his debut after a breakthrough year thanks to the phenomenal success of his single ‘Ordinary’.

They will be joined by Jessie J, Tinie Tempah, Cat Burns, Jax Jones, MK, and WizTheMC. Sunday’s Capital Buzz Artist will be Rose Gray, who’s already made huge waves thanks to collaborations with Melanie C, JADE and Shygirl.
