Pop music fans are in for a spectacular festive treat this weekend as Capital FM's legendary Jingle Bell Ball returns to London. The annual extravaganza, renowned for assembling a star-studded lineup of chart-topping artists, will see Ed Sheeran and Kylie Minogue take top billing across two nights of live performances.
Event Details and Star-Studded Lineup
The 2025 edition of the ball will once again transform The O2 Arena in Greenwich into a pop paradise. The action unfolds over Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th December, promising a weekend packed with hit songs and festive cheer. Following in the footsteps of past headliners like Dua Lipa, Coldplay, and Stormzy, this year's event boasts an impressive roster of talent.
Saturday's show will be led by the phenomenal Ed Sheeran, supported by a bill featuring RAYE, Leigh-Anne, Anne-Marie, and Rizzle Kicks, alongside Mimi Webb, Moliy, Sonny Fodera, and Alessi Rose. Sunday belongs to pop icon Kylie Minogue, who will be joined by Alex Warren, Louis Tomlinson, Cat Burns, and Jessie J, with additional sets from Tinie Tempah, MK, Jax Jones, WiztheMC, and Rose Gray.
Practical Information for Attendees
If you're lucky enough to have secured a pass, here's what you need to know. Doors open at 4:30pm on both days, with the main show expected to kick off around 6pm. Capital has indicated that each night will conclude at approximately 10pm. Be mindful of the strict bag policy: only one bag per person is allowed, and it must be smaller than A4 dimensions (35cm x 40cm x 19cm). A paid storage facility will be available at the venue for £10 per item.
Official tickets for both days sold out in early November. However, last-minute options may be found through official resale via AXS, or on secondary platforms like Viagogo and Stubhub, where prices were seen starting from around £116. Listeners should also tune into Capital FM for potential competition wins.
Can't Make It to The O2? How to Watch Live
Don't worry if you can't be there in person. The entire event will be broadcast live for fans at home. You can stream the performances via Global Player, the official Capital app, and on YouTube. For those who prefer traditional television, highlights from the Jingle Bell Ball will be shown on ITV, ITV1, and STV, as well as their streaming counterparts ITVX and STV Player, later in December.
As is typical for Capital's major events, precise set times for each artist are usually confirmed at the last minute, sometimes on the day itself. Attendees are advised to keep an eye on official Capital channels for the final running order to ensure they don't miss their favourite act.
