City Splash, held in Brockwell Park, is the world's largest one-day festival celebrating Caribbean and African culture, with a vibrant carnival atmosphere. Marking its fifth year in 2025, the festival unites communities and highlights the richness of Black music, food, dance, and style.

The 2025 edition's star-studded lineup includes Jamaican Reggae artist Tarrus Riley, Dancehall queen Spice, and Afrobeats collective The Compozers, alongside rising stars like Valiant and Teejay. The event also features legendary acts such as Channel One, Aba Shanti-I, and General Levy, as well as sound system pioneers like Dubwise Jamaica and Iration Steppas. London's own Heartless Crew, Rampage Sound, and Rebel Clash add their signature energy, while DJs such as Pioneer, Supa D, and Sir DJ Corey bring their unique beats. Performers like soulful reggae singer Aleighcia Scott and emerging talent Jada Pink further showcase the diverse range of artists.

With seven stages and more than 30,000 visitors, City Splash will transform Brockwell Park into a vibrant hub on 26 May, cementing its reputation as the ultimate showcase of Caribbean and African heritage. Tickets are on sale now – you can find out more about the festival and book yours here.
