Mariah Carey has serious summertime plans…
The 56-year-old half-Venezuelan American Grammy-winning songstress tops the pop-forward line-up for Capital’s Summertime Ball show slated to take place at Wembley Stadium on June 15.
In addition to Carey, the show will also feature sets from Benson Boone, Lola Young and KSI.
The show will be Carey’s debut performance at the Summertime Ball, as well as her first U.K. show in six years.
The party will also host Busted vs. McFly, Zara Larsson, Dasha, Reneé Rapp and Jessie J, with more big names slated to be announced on Tuesday morning (April 29) on the Capital Breakfast show.
It’ll be a command performance for back-flipper Boone, who played to 80,000 at the event last year. The show will also present the eagerly anticipated British boy band brawl between Busted and McFly, who, according to a release, will “go song-for-song in an unmissable showdown… expect a set packed with anthems from Busted’s ‘Crashed The Wedding,’ ‘Year 3000’ and ‘Who’s David,’ to McFly’s ‘Obviously,’ ‘5 Colours In Her Hair’ and ‘All About You.’ It’s a battle of the bands that will have Wembley singing every word.”
“Capital’s Summertime Ball with Barclaycard is back, and this year we’re bringing some huge names we’ve never had at the Ball before,” said founder and executive president of Global, Ashley Tabor-King. “We’ve got a stellar line-up of global superstars and today’s biggest hit music artists – all set to light up the stage! This is truly one of our best ever line-ups and we can’t wait to see 80,000 Capital listeners enjoy every moment, it’s going to be a day to remember!”
A general on-sale will begin this Wednesday, April 30), at 9:00 am via the Global Player.
