Ed Sheeran and RAYE announced for Capital’s Jingle Bell Ball with Barclaycard

Ed Sheeran, RAYE, Anne-Marie, and Leigh-Anne are confirmed to perform at Capital’s Jingle Bell Ball with Barclaycard.

The festive extravaganza returns to The O2 in London across two nights on December 6 and 7.

The line-up for night one was announced on Wednesday morning (05.11.25) on Capital Breakfast by Jordan North, Chris Stark and Siân Welby.

Also joining the bill are Rizzle Kicks, Mimi Webb, Moliy, Sonny Fodera, and Alessi Rose. A surprise Barclaycard Out of the Blue performance is also scheduled for the night.

Ed Sheeran returns to the Ball following the release of his eighth studio album, Play, which includes the Number 1 single Azizam.

RAYE will perform alongside her sisters Absolutely and Amma, in a world-exclusive set.

Anne-Marie is set to deliver a hit-filled performance, including her latest single DEPRESSED, while Leigh-Anne will appear ahead of her debut solo album My Ego Told Me To, due next month.

Rizzle Kicks make their first Jingle Bell Ball appearance since 2013, following the announcement of new music earlier this year.

This year, the Ball will champion rising talent, with Alessi Rose having been named the first Capital Buzz Artist for Saturday night. The emerging singer recently supported Tate McRae and Noah Kahan on tour and will make her debut.

Tickets go on general sale at 9am on Friday (07.11.25) via Global Player. Presale access opens at 9am on Thursday (06.11.25) for Capital listeners with a Global iD and Barclaycard customers, who can also receive 10 per cent off tickets via Barclaycard Entertainment.

The line-up for night two will be announced on Capital Breakfast on Thursday morning (06.11.25) from 7am.
