Capital Summertime Ball 2017: Stormzy and Shawn Mendes confirmed for line-up

Stormzy, Shawn Mendes and Maroon 5 are among the acts announced to play this year’s Capital Summertime Ball.

Chart-topping British grime star Stormzy will perform at the mammoth London concert for the first time next month, following an impressive start to 2017.

Confirmed by Roman Kemp on Monday’s Breakfast show, the line-up also includes Zara Larsson, Gareth Pugh, Clean Bandit and Jax Jones.

Canadian pop star Mendes was the first act to be announced for the show, which will take place at Wembley Arena on June 10.

“I’ve never even seen that many people in front of me so I’m very excited,” he told Kemp.

“I’m going to see if I can get the crowd to sing - I’ve never actually had the opportunity to make 80,000 people sing along to a song so I’m hoping I can do that.”

Kemp will announce new acts every day this week from 6am on Capital Breakfast, with tickets set to go on sale at 8am on Thursday.

“Only Capital can bring together the world’s hottest hit music artists for a party like this! Every year, 80,000 Capital listeners fill the iconic Wembley stadium and the atmosphere is always amazing,” said Ashley Tabor, founder & executive president of Global.

“I look forward to the first act taking to the stage all year round – it’s always an incredible moment!

“Today we confirmed the first world class acts who will perform at Capital’s Summertime Ball with Vodafone, and we can’t wait to reveal who’s up next tomorrow morning when Roman Kemp will announce even more huge names on the all new Capital Breakfast Show.”

Capital Summertime Ball 2017 will take place on June 10.
