Wembley Stadium came alive on Sunday, June 15, as Capital FM’s Summertime Ball 2025 took over with a crowd of 80,000 fans and a lineup that delivered from start to finish. With confetti in the air and hit after hit echoing through the stands, this wasn’t just another summer concert it was a memory maker.
The Performances That Stuck With Us
Mariah Carey took the stage with that unmistakable star power. When she launched into "We Belong Together" and "Always Be My Baby," it felt like every person in the stadium stopped to take it in. Her voice filled the air and sent chills down spines.
Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff brought a full dose of 90s nostalgia. The moment "Summertime" started playing, it was like the sun came out just for them. "Gettin’ Jiggy Wit It" had the whole place dancing, from teens to their parents and everyone in between.
Tate McRae showed why she’s one of the most exciting names in pop right now. "Greedy" was bold and polished, but "It’s OK I’m OK" felt personal. She delivered every word like it mattered.
Benson Boone brought something different, a quiet intensity. His performance of "Beautiful Things" was soft but powerful, pulling the crowd into every note.
Jade stepped into her solo era with confidence. Her set opened with a burst of Little Mix classics, but it was her solo material that really proved she’s ready for the spotlight.
Busted and McFly teamed up for a pure nostalgia hit. Songs like "Year 3000" and "Crashed the Wedding" turned the stadium into a massive singalong. No one was sitting down.
Zara Larsson, Reneé Rapp, and Jessie J each brought energy and edge, but Lola Young’s performance of "Messy" stood out. Even with technical issues shaking her mid song, she kept going and left a mark.
Unforgettable Onstage Moments
One of the most talked about moments? Will Smith bringing Jaden onstage. It was a genuine, feel good surprise that had everyone grinning.
JLS also made an unexpected appearance that turned the stadium into a flashback to the 2010s. Everyone was singing, no one cared about pitch, and that’s the kind of joy you want from a live show.
Lola Young’s emotional stumble became a powerful comeback. Her earpiece failed, she walked off, but the crowd lifted her up. When she returned, she sang like she had something to prove and nailed it.
Jade’s solo debut wasn’t just about her voice, it was about presence. She looked and sounded like someone who’s ready to define her next chapter.
Beyond the Stage
This wasn’t just a showcase of talent. It was about heart. Lola’s moment of vulnerability reminded everyone that these artists are human, and the audience’s support turned it into something bigger than a performance.
