    Facebook share Twitter share

    From 80,000 of you cramming in to Wembley Stadium to how many hours it really takes to get the Summertime Ball set built, we've got all the facts you NEED to know about the #CapitalSTB.

    1. Crowd at the Summertime Ball 2015

      1. 80,000 - the number of hit music fans that will be filling Wembley Stadium on the day

      It's one of the biggest dates in the calendar for pop music fans, and it's always a sell out crowd with 80,000 lucky people managing to get their hands on tickets to the show. Picture : PA

    2. Summertime Ball 2015 Backstage

      2. 5 - the number of buggies ferrying all the stars to the stage for their set

      On average, these buggies travel around 112 miles over the weekend, and they ferry all of the biggest stars to and from the stage and their dressing rooms. Picture: Jenna Foxton

    3. Summertime Ball 2015 Backstage

      3. 4000 - the number of metres of camera cables bringing you all the action

      Of course, you guys want to see ALL of the action, and that comes with a WHOLE lot of technical know how and 4km of camera cables to make sure you guys don't miss a second! Picture: Jenna Foxton

    4. Summertime Ball 2015 Backstage

      4. 766 - the number of crew working backstage

      From presenters to catering crew, it takes a BIG team to ensure that an event of this scale goes off without a hitch! Picture: Jenna Foxton

    5. Avicii Summertime Ball 2015

      5. 1000 - the amount of square metres of digital screen on the stage

      When the lights go down on Wembley stadium, the incredible visuals on the screens really stand out... just like they did during Avicii's closing set in 2015! Picture: PA

    6. One Direction Summertime Ball 201

      6. 125 - the number of miles One Direction had to travel from Wembley to Cardiff

      When they opened the show in 2015, the boys had to jet off straight after to make their own tour in Cardiff. That's dedication for you! Picture: PA

    7. Toilet Cubicle

      7. 2618 - the number of toilets at Wembley Stadium

      Well, with 80,000 people to cater for you NEED a lot of toilets so you don't get caught short!

    8. Summertime Ball 2015 Backstage

      8. 60 - the number of hours build it takes to get the venue show-ready

      Turning the stadium from a football pitch into a concert venue requires a lot of work and time - 60 hours ahead of the show, to be precise! Picture: Jenna Foxton
