“[I’ll] hopefully follow that up with more [shows],” she teased, adding: “I’m definitely gonna bring some pizzazz; I always give a little Christmas spirit to it.
“I’m gonna be bringing some new songs off of ‘143’. I’ve been doing a lot of performances that are kind of futuristic, a little sci-fi, and so everything has a little bit of that edge to it right now. I’m just gonna try and bring my light and my joy.”
Perry will be joined by Becky Hill, Sonny Fodera, KSI, Joel Corry and Kygo on the second night, with Tom Grennan also due to play another set after his performance on night one.
The 2024 edition of the two-night event takes place at The O2 in London on Saturday December 7 and Sunday December 8, with Coldplay set to headline the first edition.
As announced by Capital Breakfast hosts Jordan North, Chris Stark and Sian Welby, they’ll be joined by Teddy Swims, Perrie, Clean Bandit, Ella Henderson, Tom Grennan and Sigala.
The presenting trio said: “What an amazing morning on Capital Breakfast! We’ve just dropped the line-up for night one of Capital’s Jingle Bell Ball with Barclaycard, and the excitement is through the roof!
“It’s Jordan’s first-ever Jingle Bell Ball, and we can’t wait to get everyone in the festive spirit. There are even more huge names to come for night two, so make sure you’re listening tomorrow – it’s going to be epic!”
Ashley Tabor-King CBE, Founder & Executive President of Global, added: “It’s the most wonderful time of the year, when we fill London’s O2 Arena with the biggest hit music artists in the world and thousands of Capital fans for the UK’s biggest Christmas party!
“It’s such a special event and I’m particularly looking forward to Jordan hosting his first Jingle Bell Ball, with Barclaycard!”
The line-up for the second night will be announced on Capital Breakfast from 7am GMT on Thursday, November 7.
