The pop star is set to take the Wembley Stadium stage on June 6 alongside Calvin Harris, RAYE
After more than a decade away, Jason Derulo is reclaiming his spot on one of the U.K.’s most celebrated summer stages. The pop star has been confirmed as part of the 2026 Capital’s Summertime Ball with Barclaycard lineup, set to perform at Wembley Stadium in London on Saturday, June 6. His last appearance at the annual event was in 2015 making this comeback a full 11 years in the making for fans who have kept up with his career throughout that time.
The announcement came as part of a second wave of artist reveals that rolled out across Capital Breakfast earlier this week, and the response from listeners was immediate. Ticket presales moved quickly after the expanded roster was made public, with allocations selling through at a rapid pace. Tickets are available via Global Player, Capital FM’s official streaming app, which is free to download with basic registration.
A stacked lineup from start to finish
Derulo joins what organizers are calling one of the most expansive rosters the event has ever assembled, with 15 confirmed performers spanning pop, electronic, R&B, and dance music. Calvin Harris is back for his fourth consecutive appearance at the Ball, bringing his catalog of electronic anthems to the iconic venue. RAYE performs on the heels of her latest album, and Niall Horan makes his third appearance at Wembley Stadium for the event.
The bill also includes dance music pioneer Fatboy Slim, who is celebrating 40 years in the industry, as well as Robyn, Bebe Rexha, Myles Smith, Sienna Spiro, Lola Young, Stephen Sanchez, XG, December 10, and MEEK. Young, in particular, arrives at the Ball following a significant career milestone she recently took home a Grammy for Best Pop Solo Performance, her first win at the awards show. The breadth of the lineup is designed to appeal across generations, mixing established names with newer artists who have built strong followings over the past few years.
What fans can expect from Derulo’s set
Derulo has built much of his live reputation on the intersection of vocal performance and high energy choreography, and those who have seen him on previous tours or at major festivals know that his sets are rarely low key. His catalog pulls from across his career, including fan favorites like Whatcha Say, Wiggle, and Swalla, along with material from his more recent album The Last Dance, which has supported an international touring run that helped put him back in the spotlight in a meaningful way.
That tour success, combined with his continued presence in pop culture, made him a natural fit for a lineup that also includes some of the biggest names currently working in music. Organizers placed him strategically alongside Harris and RAYE, suggesting his set will land at a peak moment in the day’s schedule.
How to watch and attend
For those who cannot make it to Wembley in person, the event will air live on ITV1 and ITVX on June 6, bringing the performances to a much wider audience both across the U.K. and internationally. Gates open throughout the day ahead of the performances, giving attendees time to settle in before the acts begin.
Anyone still hoping to attend in person can check availability through the Global Player app, though based on demand patterns from previous years, options near the stage tend to go first. The June 6 date marks what promises to be a genuinely memorable afternoon and evening of live music and for longtime Derulo fans especially, his return after 11 years away makes it a moment worth paying attention to.
