Capital's Summertime Ball is set to take over Wembley Stadium on Saturday, June 6, with about 80,000 people expected to fill the ground for a single day of live music. Doors, including hospitality, open at 1.30pm, the show starts at 3.30pm and the final act is due to finish at around 10pm.
That timetable matters now because the event is this weekend, and fans are trying to work out not just when to arrive but whether they can still get in. Niall Horan, who was added to the line-up in April, is among the acts joining headliners Raye and Calvin Harris, alongside Take That, Fatboy Slim, Lola Young and Jason Derulo. Organisers are also teasing a special surprise set in the Barclaycard Out of the Blue slot, though they have not said who will take it.
The concert was first released through the Global Player app last month and sold out quickly, and general sale tickets are still gone. Even so, some fans can still find resale options on sites including viagogo, StubHub and Vivid Seats, while Seat Unique is also offering tickets. Prices being advertised include £65 on viagogo, £68 on StubHub and £125 through Seat Unique.
For anyone heading to Wembley, the practical details are as important as the line-up. The stadium is warning fans to watch the prohibited items list and to stick to a strict bag policy: each person can bring only one small bag, and it must not be bigger than A4 size. The three rail and Tube stations serving Wembley Stadium will be open for concertgoers, but resale buyers still need to check the small print because some original ticket terms and conditions prohibit resale.
What happens next is fixed: the crowd starts arriving at 1.30pm, the music begins at 3.30pm and the last act finishes about 10pm. By then, the question will not be when Summertime Ball 2026 starts, but who owns the night in the surprise slot.
