City Splash Festival 2025: A Celebration of Caribbean and African Culture Like No Other
City Splash Festival is back, and it's ready to bring the heat! The world’s largest independent one-day celebration of Caribbean and African culture is returning to Brockwell Park, London, and it’s going to be an absolute blast. This year marks the festival’s fifth anniversary, and they’re kicking things off with an incredible first wave of artists that will keep you dancing all day long.
The lineup is stacked, starting with Tarrus Riley, the second-generation Jamaican roots reggae singer known for his soulful hits. Joining him is the Queen of Dancehall herself, Spice, who’s sure to set the stage on fire with her energetic performance. Also bringing the vibes are Valiant, one of Jamaica’s brightest rising stars, and Teejay, the voice behind the massive anthem "Drift." And we can’t forget The Compozers, the Afrobeats collective who are sure to bring that fresh, infectious energy to the crowd.
But that’s just the beginning—prepare yourself for legendary sound systems like Aba Shanti-I, Channel One, and Iration Steppas, as well as DJ AG, General Levy, and the iconic Heartless Crew. The dub and reggae vibes will be strong with Dankie Sounds and Dubwise Jamaica making their mark, while Izzy Bossy, a long-time City Splash collaborator, is sure to bring the perfect blend of dancehall and UK vibes.
There’s more, though—Big Zeeks, D Slayer, Jada Pink, Aleighcia Scott, Bobo Blackstar, and Saxon Sound will keep the party going, joined by legendary DJs like Pioneer, Supa D, and Ras Kwame. It’s a celebration of Caribbean and African culture in the UK, and it's going to be a day of non-stop music, dance, and good vibes.
