AAA Pass At The Ready? Your Glimpse Into Backstage Life At The 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. Ssssssh. James Arthur is busy preparing!

(Vocal rest is so important, FYI)

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. Our on air studio is looking FIT.

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

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

Artists - this way please.

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. 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. AHHHHHHH. IT'S ONLY LIAM PAYNE.

Us? Fangirling? Never.

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

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

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

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

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

Nothing like a warm welcome!

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

Yes. It. Does.

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

What's a Capital party without them, hey?

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

We cannot wait to see him perform.

21. This way to the dressing rooms...

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

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

The life of a Capital radio presenter, hey?

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

SO. GOOD.

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

Facial anyone?

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

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