At this year’s Capital FM Summertime Ball, Lola Young struggled with technical difficulties while performing her hit songs
Messy singer Lola Young is said to have been ‘in tears’ after struggling with technical difficulties while performing on stage for this year’s Capital FM Summertime Ball. The 24-year-old singer performed a few songs at the event at Wembley Arena in London this weekend, but her earpiece stopped working while she was on stage.
While trying to get the earpiece to work, she told the crowd: “Sorry guys my ears are going in and out. Can I get some new ears?” She tried to continue without the earpiece but couldn’t keep in time with the band, so she eventually asked the audience: “Sing along please.”

“It’s like they’re doing it on purpose,” Lola told her fans after a few attempts of performing without hearing anything from her earpiece.
After finishing her set, she walked off the stage in frustration. In a video taken by an audience member, Lola could be seen looking distressed from the mishap as she put her face into her hands while a few others stood by her.
One person wrapped their arm around her as two others seemingly comforted her. She then slowly walked off to a different corner of the area and leaned her arms on what looked to be a box.
The TikTok user captioned the post: “Lola young ran off crying because her ear piece stopped working.” Fans also rushed to the comment section to share their support for the star.
One user commented: “I really don’t see how people can hate on someone for this? It was a sound issue and the crowd loved her still, I feel bad for her but she was one of the best acts!”
Another said: “Bless her,” and one concerned fan posted: “If someone doesn’t hug that girl.” The Mirror have reached out to Lola’s reps for comment.
Earlier in the show, fans were shown a statement from organisers on the screens. It read: “We have had to pause the show temporarily. Please remain in the stadium. We hope to restart shortly. Thank you.”
Fans were quick to go on Twitter and share updates from the venue. One wrote: “Capitals summertime ball is going well #summertimeball,” whilst another added: “Whoops #Summertimeball.”
Capital Breakfast’s Jordan North said before the show: “We are absolutely buzzing to be back at Capital’s Summertime Ball with Barclaycard this year!”
Ashley Tabor-King, Founder & Executive President of Global, added: “We’ve got a stellar line-up of global superstars and today’s biggest hit music artists – all set to light up the stage!
“This is truly one of our best ever line-ups and we can’t wait to see 80,000 Capital listeners enjoy every moment, it’s going to be a day to remember!”
