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.

Returning to the Ball once again this year is Jess Glynne, who will be armed with some of the biggest singalong songs of the day.

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’.

They join the previously announced Mark Ronson, 5SOS, Ellie Goulding, Khalid, Jonas Brothers and Halsey. As if the line up couldn’t get any better, six more artists will be revealed tomorrow morning – we actually cannot cope.
