Capital Radio’s Jingle Bell Ball has just made a major announcement for this year’s lineup – and it’s set to be a showstopper. The much-anticipated annual soiree, taking place at the iconic O2 Arena in London, has revealed Coldplay as the top act for the opening night on Saturday, December 7, 2024.

Fans will undoubtedly be overjoyed by the news of Coldplay headlining, especially hot on the heels of their announcement of an expansive stadium tour that will begin next year across the UK. Joining Coldplay for this spectacular two-day music event, which Barclaycard is hosting, are some massive names. American musician mixing country with rap, Teddy Swims, is lined up.

He’s in good company with Little Mix’s Perrie, chart-toppers Clean Bandit and several others gearing up to captivate the 20,000-strong crowd. Below you’ll find the complete list of artists set to perform. But first things first, if you’re keen to snap up tickets, we’ve got all the details right here:

Tickets go on sale via Global Player on Friday, November 8, at 9 a.m. sharp. There’s even better news for the early birds: a presale for dedicated fans begins a day earlier. According to the official Capital Jingle Bell Ball web page, “Capital listeners who are logged into Global Player with a global ID will get exclusive access to Capital presale tickets from Thursday, November 7th, at 9 a.m.”

If you’re not keen on seeing Tom Grennan and Sigala trying to match Coldplay, tickets for the band’s tour are still up for grabs on various resale websites.

How to purchase Coldplay tickets

Tickets for Coldplay’s headline stadium tour went on sale last month and have mostly sold out. However, a good number of tickets are still available on various resale websites. These platforms, including Viagogo, StubHub and others, allow fans to buy and sell their tickets at their convenience, at a price they set.

viagogo and resale tickets

Sites such as Viagogo and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that many event promoters say tickets should not be resold after initial purchase and will not be valid for admittance to gigs.

Fans attending live events with tickets acquired through resale websites are advised to double check the ticket terms and conditions at the point of sale – such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation – to ensure a smooth live event experience. Tickets could be voided if they were found to be bought second-hand. As a result, fans are buying at their own risk.

With that said, viagogo also commented: “viagogo is a regulated marketplace where fans have the guarantee.”
