Perfect your party look before the Ball

Of course, festival season and festival wear go hand-in-hand! So we know that when you look ahead to Ball day you must be wondering what outfit you're going to sport as you watch your favourite stars take to the stage.

Why not take a leaf out of Harry's book and dress in your festival best for the #CapitalSTB. Whether he dons a colourful jumpsuit or metallic co-ord, Harry always understands the stage-wear assignments – and you can too!

Plan our your outfit options and get your friends' opinions (maybe even do a poll) to help you decide what you'll be donning on June 12!

Make your ultimate #CapitalSTB playlist

What better way to kill time before the Ball than curating your very own personalised playlist featuring our 2022 acts.

Include dance anthems from the likes of Becky Hill and David Guetta to get you ready to move, prepare to belt out chart-toppers from Harry Styles to Ed Sheeran, and sprinkle in some feel-good pop bops from Mabel and Joel Corry to top off the perfect pre-party playlist!

You have plenty of bangers to choose from when it comes to making your own ultimate Ball setlist.
