Cross The Tracks in Brockwell Park has evolved into a unique festival space celebrating community, culture, and the rich sounds of jazz, funk, and soul. The 2025 line-up, set for 25 May, is headlined by the acclaimed Mercury Prize-winning artist Michael Kiwanuka, known for his heartfelt and evocative soul music.

Kiwanuka's upcoming album, “Small Changes”, due in late 2024, heightens the anticipation for his performance. Joining him are talents such as Jordan Rakei, Sinéad Harnett, Bashy, and reggae sound system icons Aba Shanti-I and Channel One. Attendees can also look forward to Grammy-nominated Baby Rose, soul group Thee Sinseers & The Altons, Allysha Joy, and many other rising stars and eclectic performers, while the festival's DJ line-up includes Gilles Peterson, musclecars, Shy One, Ruby Savage, and a Handson Family Heritage Stage takeover.

Known for its inclusive 50/50 gender balance and showcasing both emerging and established artists, Cross The Tracks continues to be a leading platform for diverse musical talent. Tickets start at £54.50 and you can book yours here.
