City Splash Festival unveils first wave of artists for 2025 line-up

City Splash Festival has announced the first wave of artists for its highly anticipated 2025 festival, set to take place at the iconic Brockwell Park, London. Celebrating its fifth year, the world’s largest one-day celebration of Caribbean and African culture promises to be bigger and bolder than ever, bringing together some of the most iconic names in Reggae, Dancehall, Afrobeats, and more.

Topping the bill are reggae royalty Tarrus Riley, dancehall superstar Spice, and rising Jamaican sensation Valiant. Joining them is Teejay, one of dancehall's most in-demand voices, alongside popular collective The Compozers, known for their genre-blending live performances. Festival-goers can also expect sets from DJ AG, iconic reggae sound system Channel One, and dub pioneer Aba Shanti-I.

The 2025 lineup goes even deeper, featuring crowd-favourites like General Levy, Heartless Crew, Iration Steppas, and legendary reggae sound system Saxon Sound. London’s own Izzy Bossy, Rampage Sound, and Ras Kwame are also set to light up the stage. Rising talents like Jada Pink, Aleighcia Scott, and Yung Saber promise to showcase the next generation of talent, while grassroots collectives like Sisters In Dub and Dubwise Jamaica keep the community spirit alive.

The festival has cemented its place as a cultural touchstone, uniting sounds from roots, dub, and dancehall to jungle and garage, and the 2025 edition promises to be an unmissable celebration. Tickets are on sale now, and with more acts yet to be announced, this year’s festival is set to be unforgettable.
