As for Louis Tomlinson, he will return to the Ball for the first time in 13 years. The last time the Lemonade hitmaker played the event was with One Direction.

Appearing on the radio station this morning, he said: “I’m obsessed with Christmas.”

Night two will also see viral sensation Alex Warren grace the stage to perform his smash hit Ordinary.

Tinie Tempah, Cat Burns – who is currently competing on Celebrity Traitors – Jax Jones, Dior hitmaker MK, WiztheMC have also been confirmed.

Just like the first night, Capital has handpicked a Capital Buzz Artist to perform, with dance music star Rose Gray set to join the huge names at The O2.

Ed Sheeran, RAYE, Anne-Marie, and Leigh-Anne were among the first acts confirmed for December 6.

They will be joined by 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.

Alessi Rose was 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.
