Following on from yesterday’s first wave of artist announcements, Capital FM added another six incredible artists to its Summertime Ball line up this morning.
With the artist names being announced via ‘ballboards’ across the country, social media was rife with excitement as the performers were slowly being revealed. Capital breakfast presenters Roman Kemp, Vick Hope, and Sonny Jay were also on hand to confirm the announcements.
First up to be confirmed today was Maroon 5, who will be making their ball debut after having to pull out in 2017.

The fifth artist to be announced was Jonas Blue and the multi-talented DJ and producer actually revealed himself by posing with his very own ‘ballboard’.
