    AAA Pass At The Ready? Your Glimpse Into Backstage Life At The Summertime Ball 2017

    You don't need any form of backstage pass to catch all the action.

    1. Hailee Steinfeld Summertime Ball 2017

      1. Well, look who's stopped by! We announced Hailee Steinfeld as a surprise addition yesterday...

      ... and she's stopped by to catch up with our very own Jimmy Hill!

    2. Summertime Ball 2017 Backstage Tour

      2. Ssssssh. James Arthur is busy preparing!

      (Vocal rest is so important, FYI)

    3. Summertime Ball 2017 Backstage Tour

      3. Hear that? That's the sound of the fans going crazy as Shawn Mendes arrives in the UK.

      We cannot wait to see the Canadian lad take to the Wembley Stadium stage for what is going to be one hell of a party.

    4. Summertime Ball 2017 Backstage

      4. Our on air studio is looking FIT.

      Seriously, wait until you see what we have in store for you.

    5. Summertime Ball 2017 Backstage

      5. We're subtle, aren't we? Do you think there's an event happening this weekend?

      Artists - this way please.

    6. Summertime Ball 2017 Backstage

      6. Our studio is busy being built to welcome all our guests...

      ... so we can grab them the second that they come off stage!

    7. Summertime Ball 2017 Backstage

      7. Grab some water, quick last minute check in the mirror and off you go to the stage!

      Our presenters have to look picture perfect as well!

    8. Summertime Ball 2017 Backstage Tour

      8. AHHHHHHH. IT'S ONLY LIAM PAYNE.

      Us? Fangirling? Never.

    9. Summertime Ball 2017 Backstage Tour

      9. Who's ready for Stormzy?! We are!

      His dressing room is ready to go for his big arrival.

    10. Summertime Ball 2017 Backstage Tour

      10. This is where the artists will chill out before heading to the stage!

      Nothing but the best luxury for our favourite artists. And take it from us, those sofas are the comfiest thing potentially ever.

    11. Summertime Ball 2017 Backstage Tour

      11. All artists will head into the backstage area to get ready before taking to the stage!

      We make sure that their dressing rooms are full of their favourite things and even make sure that they're big enough to allow for their make-up artists, stylists and hairdressers! It's a tough life being a celebrity.

    12. Summertime Ball 2017 Backstage Tour

      12. The artists will hang out here and enjoy a bottle of Coca-Cola before heading out to wow our crowd.

      80,000 pople is a big audience. It's important to stay hydrated.

    13. Summertime Ball 2017 Backstage Tour

      13. Our line-up will be heading into the green room to film some fun video features.

      And trust us, you're not going to want to miss it.

    14. Summertime Ball 2017 Backstage Tour

      14. Turns out, singers and their bands have ALOT of luggage.

      Nothing is too much to make sure a performance goes smoothly.

    15. Summertime Ball 2017 Backstage Tour

      15. This will be the sight that greets our artists as they head backstage before their performance.

      Nothing like a warm welcome!

    16. Summertime Ball 2017 Backstage Tour

      16. The summer lives on Capital... obviously.

      Yes. It. Does.

    17. Summertime Ball 2017 Backstage Tour

      17. Help yourself! We know, we look after our artists don't we?

      Thanks Coca-Cola for making sure our backstage area is kitted out!

    18. Summertime Ball 2017 Backstage Tour

      18. Our green screen may look like nothing now...

      ... but just wait until our artists do their thanggggg in front of it and it will definitely come to life!

    19. Summertime Ball 2017 Backstage

      19. Your favourite Capital presenters will be at the Summertime Ball as well.

      What's a Capital party without them, hey?

    20. Summertime Ball 2017 Backstage

      20. O.M.G. We're freaking out! It's only Niall Horan's dressing room.

      We cannot wait to see him perform.

    21. Summertime Ball 2017 Backstage

      21. This way to the dressing rooms...

      ... but sadly you WILL need an AAA pass to go down this corridor.

    22. Aimee Vivien MAC backstage make-up

      22. Our very own Aimee Vivian gets her make-up done by MAC backstage!

      The life of a Capital radio presenter, hey?

    23. Summertime Ball 2017 Backstage

      23. We even have a bar backstage for a well deserved post-performance drink!

      Tape London have kindly kitted our backstage area out with a purpose built bar to keep our artists hydrated!

    24. Summertime Ball 2017 Backstage

      24. Sugar rush anyone?! Candy Kittens are plying us with all the confectionary goodness

      SO. GOOD.

    25. Summertime Ball 2017 Backstage

      25. Crisps anyone?

      We're seriously in love with Manomasa Tortilla Chips and Two Chicks Crisps. Can we just have an endless, unlimited supply?

    26. Summertime Ball 2017 Backstage

      26. Yep, only the best for our artists. They can even be treated to a spa treatment post performance!

      Facial anyone?

    27. Zara Larsson Summertime Ball 2017

      27. She said yes! Roman and Zara mess around backstage which resulted in a (kinda) marriage proposal.

    28. Dua Lipa and Roman Kemp Summertime Ball 2017 Studi

      28. Is Roman Kemp just proposing to everyone right now?!
