They also announced that DJ-and-producer Nathan – whose hits include ‘Lighter’ featuring KSI, ‘Flowers’ featuring Jaykae and MALIKA, and recent single ’21 Reasons’ with Ella Henderson – will be joining the star-studded bill.

‘Bad Habits’ hitmaker Ed will open the show on Sunday, with live DJ sets from Capital’s Marvin Humes and MistaJam from midday onwards, before the superstar takes to the Summertime Ball stage at 2pm.

Roman said: “We haven’t had a Capital’s Summertime Ball with Barclaycard since 2019 so we can’t wait to be back in the sunshine saying ‘Hello Wembley!’

“We are starting the day in the most amazing way with Ed Sheeran kicking off the Ball for us, so if you’re lucky enough to have a ticket then make sure you’re down nice and early because you are not going to want to miss a single second of this show!

“We’ve packed in more artists than ever before and we’ll be keeping it to the biggest hits from the biggest artists at the UK’s biggest summer party!”
