City Splash 2026. Our Biggest Lineup Yet.

Going into our sixth year of City Splash, it's our fastest-selling yet, and our biggest lineup we’ve ever put together. 60+ artists. 6 stages. One day.

Here’s who’s pulling up.

Headliner 

There’s only one place to start. Our headliner, Beres Hammond, the King of Lovers Rock, is returning to the UK stage for the first time in eight years for an exclusive headline show at City Splash. He is a true romantic, a true lovers rock singer and few names resonate as deeply with both local and global audiences as his.

Real Roots Reggae

Global reggae star Gyptian is on the bill, and the ladies are outside and ready for him to play hits on hits like Hold Yuh, Slow Wine and Beautiful Lady.

Janet Kay & Carroll Thompson, known as the Queens of Lovers Rock, have shaped the very essence of the genre. Their live performances are a rare chance to experience British reggae performed by its most iconic voices.

Queen Ifrica, bringing roots reggae as real as it gets. With her haunting melodies, sociopolitical lyrics and fluid delivery, Queen Ifrica sets out to be a force to be reckoned with.

The Congos embody unity and a powerful sense of cohesion during their concerts. True Rastafarians who have remained true to their roots, their principles, and the roots reggae gems that made them legends.

Dancehall Heavyweights

Aidonia is a certified dancehall heavyweight, and the ladies are not sleeping on this one. If you missed him last year, now’s your chance.

Then there’s Elephant Man, the Energy God himself. After 15 years of dominating the dancehall scene, if you know, you already know what’s coming.

Old School Garage Royalty

For everyone who came up in the golden era of UKG, this one’s for you. So Solid Crew, Heartless Crew and Donae’o are all coming through for a celebration of the sound that shaped a generation.

New Gen Talent

City Splash has always been about what’s next, and 2026 is no different. JELEEL!, Eric IV, Cristale, BXKS and Wohdee are bringing the next generation to Brockwell Park. Hear them here first.

The Selectors

It wouldn’t be City Splash without the finest sound systems and DJs. This year, we’ve got the return of legends such as Channel One, Saxon Sound, Dubwise Jamaica, DJ Nate, Izzy Bossy, Dankie Sounds, Seani B, Ras Kwame and Rampage Sound keeping the vibrations exactly where they need to be from start to finish.

With even more names completing this stacked lineup. This is just the beginning.
