Will Smith thrilled fans at the capital’s summertime ball with a surprise duet alongside son Jaden for Father’s Day.

Will Smith delivered an unforgettable Father’s Day gift — not just for himself, but for 80,000 lucky fans packed inside Wembley Stadium on Sunday night. Performing at Capital’s Summertime Ball 2025, the global superstar stunned the roaring crowd by bringing his son, Jaden Smith, on stage for a heartwarming father-son moment that left everyone cheering.

The Hollywood legend teamed up once again with his long-time collaborator DJ Jazzy Jeff, treating the audience to a heavy dose of ’90s nostalgia. The duo electrified Wembley with classic hits like Miami, Gettin’ Jiggy Wit It, and the timeless Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme, with fans singing every word in unison.

But it was Smith’s special surprise that truly stole the show. Midway through his performance, Will asked the crowd, “Can you get up?” before extending a hand to Jaden, who literally jumped onto the stage. As the crowd erupted, Will proudly introduced him: “This is my son, Jaden Christopher Syre Smith.”

The pair embraced in front of the crowd, with Will beaming: “It’s only ‘cause it’s Father’s Day. Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers out there!” Jaden, dressed casually but exuding his trademark cool, remained on the side stage, grooving to his dad’s performance of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air while the audience soaked up the touching family moment.

Jaden, best known for his own music career with hits like Icon, as well as his role in The Karate Kid, added a multi-generational flair to the event. The father-son duo’s impromptu collaboration perfectly captured the festive spirit of the evening, turning the UK’s biggest summer party into a Smith family affair.

The night wasn’t short on star power. Performers including Jade, Zara Larsson, and Lola Young kept the crowd energised with dazzling sets. But another surprise act added to the night’s buzz — JLS, the beloved boyband who originally rose to fame as runners-up on The X Factor back in 2008.

JLS treated the audience to a tight four-song medley: The Club Is Alive, Beat Again, She Makes Me Wanna, and Everybody In Love. The group, who disbanded in 2013 after years of massive record sales both in the UK and worldwide, reunited in 2020 for their Beat Again tour, rekindling their connection with longtime fans.

Backstage, there was nothing but love for Will and Jaden’s surprise moment. Social media lit up almost instantly, with fans hailing the performance as “legendary,” “iconic,” and “the perfect Father’s Day surprise.” The sight of one of Hollywood’s biggest stars sharing the stage with his son touched fans across generations, blending nostalgic hits with heartfelt family connection.

Will’s appearance at the Summertime Ball comes amid a busy period for the actor and musician. While his acting career continues to thrive, moments like these remind audiences of his roots as one of hip hop’s early mainstream crossover artists — and as a proud father keen to share the stage with his children.

For Jaden, the cameo adds to his already impressive portfolio, which spans acting, music, and fashion. Though only briefly on stage, his presence alongside his father underscored the unique bond they share, one that fans have followed for years.

As the confetti rained down on Wembley, one thing was certain — Will Smith’s surprise performance wasn’t just another concert. It was a celebration of music, family, and pure joy that fans won’t soon forget.
