Only 3 you got right. BOOTB might be Lemar.

There was a whole list of predictions I put as well. Let’s not forget that

Sadly, no rappers here

Good news for my wallet: the second half is even less interesting than the first half so I don't feel the need to go

You can just come for vibes Joseph

That’s a really poor line up actually. I thought Big Weekend’s was quite poor this year but it looks amazing compared to this

Onwards and Upwards to the tickets and a few more surprises by Friday

I'm afraid I'd need more than vibes to part with so much money and spend a whole afternoon at Wembley!

I’d be fascinated to see the booking fees spreadsheet for this.

Wait till Friday…. Maybe they’ll announce a surprise name (like they did for Jessie J at last year’s Jingle Bell Ball) as well as the Bong Man’s appearance (or something else). You can also try winning the tickets

I’m hoping to get those tickets today or tomorrow

Are they even trying this year like do they want people to go with a lineup that poor

Maybe lots of people declined and they'll be blacklisting a number of artists from their station

Like they did with many people including Ariana Grande, Shawn Mendes, Selena Gomez, Olivia Dean, The Vamps, George Ezra, Stormzy, Charli XCX, Dua Lipa, Arrdee, Demi Lovato, Sigala, Joel Corry and Little Mix

no babes.

Ariana Grande isn't due to any ball, they blacklisted her for no reason at all. It's the same with Dua Lipa and Charli XCX (Ari and Charli may be due to scandals and imagery tho)

The Vamps and Arrdee don't get played cos they are irrelevant, capital is still playing Joel and Sigala during the weekenders. Capital still play the Stormzy Remix of Shape Of You so he's not blacklisted either. As for the some of the others (e.g. Little Mix, Demi Lovato, George Ezra, Selena Gomez) it’s as simple as they are not on capital's recurrent playlist.

Guessing who PinkPantheress might bring out with her

Not me thinking she was gonna do an actual cilla black tribute 🤣

Such a terrible lineup this year

I've seen somebody on here in the know confirm conclusively that they did in fact blacklist Charli because she declined to do one of their balls, that may also be true of Dua as well but I'm not 100%. This is a commonly known thing they (or rather Global) do out of pettiness.

What is a BOOTB?

Barclaycard Out Of The Blue act I believe, I went last year and it was JLS. Natasha Bedingfield and I think Kylie are other examples.

Huh. She mustve been blacklisted around the droplet era then (2022-2023)

Any others that haven’t been played in a while… maybe Jonas Brothers?? Charlie Puth?? Ellie Goulding?? Lizzo?? They don’t even play Starving anymore 😔

Robyn is such an odd choice for this. Correct me if I’m wrong I can’t recall the station playlisting her in at least a decade.

I’m 99% the audience would think she’s doing a cover of the Callum Scott song (🙄) when she performs Dancing on My Own.

You mean she isnt covering calum Scott's evidently more successful version 🤭

She released it first and she was played around 2024-2025
