The Summertime Ball is a mini-festival in London, held each June by Global Radio. The first ball was at Emirates Stadium in 2009, and it has since been held at Wembley Stadium. It is promoted and broadcast by the Capital network. There have been four different sponsors since its first event. Since 2012, Vodafone has been the sponsor. In 2009, Barclaycard sponsored the ball. The following year ASOS.com sponsored the event, with Starbucks sponsoring the event in 2011.

A portion of ticket sales profit is donated to Help a Capital Child (formerly Help a London Child), the Capital charity. In 2015 a portion of ticket sales was donated to Global's Make Some Noise.

2009

Katy Perry opened the show, performing in front of her largest ever audience, and was also rated highly as one of the most interesting artists that day. The festival had an audience of 55,000 people. Kelly Clarkson, Leona Lewis and Akon were promoted as the headline acts. Kelly Clarkson performed an acoustic version of her song "Because of You". The mini-festival was also touted as Leona Lewis' home-coming gig, due to the fact that she had spent the majority of the year in the USA promoting her album; she performed her song "Bleeding Love" at the festival. Lionel Richie and boy band Blue also performed.

The event was hosted by Capital London presenters Rich Clarke, Kat Shoob, Lisa Snowdon and Johnny Vaughan. The show was sponsored for its first year by Barclaycard.
