Capital FM’s Summertime Ball was dramatically halted today – with fans in the stadium left confused. The show had been paused temporarily, attendees revealed as they shared snaps of the screens around the stadium.
The Summertime Ball is taking place today at Wembley Stadium, with the likes of Mariah Carey, Benson Boone, KSI, Lola Young, Busted vs McFly, Zara Larsson, Dasha, Reneé Rapp and Jessie J all performing. Will Smith & DJ Jazzy Jeff, Tate McRae, Myles Smith and JADE are also performing at the huge event, which is expected to draw in a crowd of 80,000.
However, soon into the show, fans were shown a statement from organisers on the screens. It read: “We have had to pause the show temporarily. Please remain in the stadium. We hope to restart shortly. Thank you.”
Fans were quick to go on Twitter and share updates from the venue. One wrote: “Capitals summertime ball is going well #summertimeball,” whilst another added: “Whoops #Summertimeball.”
JADE is set to open the event, with fans worried her set might be cut due to the technical issues. One wrote: “Capital better not cut @jadethirlwall set short because of the lateness starting!! #CapitalSTB #capitalsummertimeball.”
It hasn’t been confirmed but fans have said there was a power outage at the stadium. Fans are now reporting that the power outage has been resolved and the screens are working once again.
The show was expected to start at 3.30pm, but at the time of writing, it has yet to start. Capital Breakfast’s Jordan North said: “We are absolutely buzzing to be back at Capital’s Summertime Ball with Barclaycard this year!”
Ashley Tabor-King, Founder & Executive President of Global, added: “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!”
Whilst the show is yet to start on the livestream, former Love Island star Kem Cetinay is DJing. One wrote: “No offence to Kem, but please for the love of god just put JADE on!!! #CapitalSTB,” whilst another added: “I have not waited 14 mins beyond the actual livestream starting to endure Kem off Love Island doing a s*** job at DJ’ing!!! PUT JADE ON NOW FFS #CapitalSTB. No offence to Kem, but please for the love of god just put JADE on!!!”
