**UPDATE**: Capital FM have added some HUGE new names to the list, with Zara Larsson, Years & Years and Tinie Tempah all joining the rest of the acts at Wembley.

Speaking about the big gig, Tinie said: “I’m really, really excited…every single time I’ve done it there’s been a moment, a crazy moment. I hope this time won’t be any different and that the crowd will be just as crazy.”

Ariana Grande will also be belting out her huge hits in June, telling Capital that she’s ‘really excited’ to perform her new material and see all her loyal fans.

Lukas Graham, the group behind one of the year’s biggest hits, ‘7 Years’, will take to the stage too, saying: “It’s going to be great to play our music live in the UK. We’ve never performed in front of that many people before and we’ve never performed at a Capital Ball before. It’s going to be a tick off the bucket list.”

The Vamps have been added to the line-up, with the boys telling the station: “It’s one of our favourite gigs that we’ve ever done… so we’re very excited to be coming back. We gig so much, and it’s not as if we get less nervous for other gigs, but it’s Capital! We put a bit more into it, so we’re very excited.”

**April 27** Just in case Capital hadn’t already managed to squeeze enough talent into Wembley, they’ve gone and added will.i.am, Nick Jonas, Jess Glynne, Jillionaire of Major Lazer and WSTRN to the line-up, with one more huge act left to announce.

LAST BUT NOT DEFINITELY LEAST, Zayn Malik AKA ZAYN completes the Summertime Ball line-up as he makes his first UK solo performance.
