City Splash 2025 Is Only Getting Better: Our Latest Line-up Drop

What’s better than a stacked line-up of the culture's best Reggae, Dancehall & Afrobeats artists? Some extra additions, that’s what. We’ve got plenty more acts for you to be getting excited about, so sit tight and take a look at who else is pulling up to Brockwell Park this Bank Holiday Monday!

We’ve invited the one and only Popcaan to join us as our headliner this year. A pillar of contemporary dancehall with over a decade of experience, he’s showing no sign of cooling down the pace. With huge collaborations under his star-studded belt, and the same attitude as his early hits ‘Only Man She Want’ and ‘Clarks (Remix)’, Popcaan will spark the mainstage alight this City Splash.

Celebrating 45 years of his label Ariwa, dubwise experimentalist Mad Professor will be making a return to Brockwell Park, and joining the party is Qing Madi, Nigeria’s Afropop princess who’s latest album has been making waves. We’re also excited to announce that UKG legend Ms. Dynamite and BASSHALL pioneer Kybba will be making their City Splash debut this year. Our celebration of Caribbean and African culture has a sound for every ear, so there’s really no excuses not to come through.

Worldwide hitmaker Moliy and the ever-ethereal Sasha Keable have also been added to the bill, alongside Brixton’s finest Nia Smith, the formidable Ghost Dan (who’s had a co-sign from Stylo G), and Taymah Hendi. Whatever your taste, we’ve got the hottest artist from across London, and the globe, right here in the heart of Brixton. 

We’re also adding even more grassroots talent to our line-up, nurturing the City Splash headliners of tomorrow, today. Our Rise Up initiative champions outstanding emerging artists from the Caribbean, and offers a one-week residency culminating in a slot at the festival itself. This year's cohort consists of Jaz Elise, Nesta, Raebel, Ras-I, ElevateToday and Savannah Dumetz. 

But that’s not all, we’ll also be joined by: DJ Kryptic, DJ Larni, DJ Nate, English Fire, Jordss, Josh Skints,  Jus Blaze, King Tubby’s Sound System, MC Fizzy, Patrick Junior, Ras Chosen, Ricardo Rawal, Shep Beats, Shining Stars Showcase, Tasha T, and Yeshie Renee.

Join City Splash, the home of culture, as it transforms Brockwell Park into a celebration of Caribbean and African music and culture like no other!
