City Splash 2026

City Splash Festival is back and ready to turn London’s Brockwell Park into the ultimate celebration of Caribbean and African music and culture. Already known as the largest one day Caribbean and African music festival in the world and the biggest independent one day festival in London, City Splash is bringing an incredible second wave of artists that will get everyone dancing.

Leading the charge are dancehall legends Aidonia and Elephant Man. Known as the voice of modern dancehall, Aidonia returns to London to celebrate over two decades of hits and unforgettable performances. From Bruck It and Fire Ball to Yeah Yeah and Pretty Please, his energy is unmatched and his connection with fans is electric. Elephant Man, the Energy God, grew up in Kingston’s Seaview Gardens and made his mark with Scare Dem Crew before launching a solo career that blended dancehall and hip hop. He has collaborated with Busta Rhymes and Mariah Carey and brings unstoppable charisma and movement to the City Splash stage.

The festival also welcomes the queens of Lovers Rock, Janet Kay and Carroll Thompson, alongside UK sensations like BXKS, Ciel, Donae’o, Eric IV, and V’Ghn. Fans can also catch DJ legends Movie Star Johnny and Andrew Fresh, DJ Nate and English Fire, DJ Mexy, and influential soundsystem Sovereign Syndicate keeping the beats pumping all day. Add to that soulful singers Sherii Ven Dyer and Nubian Idol, reggae powerhouses Abacush Band and Unstoppable Fyah, and you have a truly unforgettable lineup.

City Splash is more than a festival, it is a celebration of rhythm, culture, and community where generations can connect with the music that shaped a movement. From reggae and dancehall to soca, Afrobeat, and R&B, Brockwell Park will be alive with sound, energy, and love. With a lineup this stacked, City Splash is the place to be to dance, celebrate, and soak up the vibes that only London’s biggest one day festival can deliver.
