Masicka & Spice lead City Splash’s 2026 Drumsheds Takeover

City Splash is bringing its Caribbean and African celebration back to Drumsheds this November, with dancehall heavyweights Masicka and Spice leading the first wave of artists announced for the 2026 takeover. The world's biggest independent one-day celebration of Caribbean and African culture returns to London's Drumsheds on Saturday, November 21, marking the festival's third year at the venue.

As expected, City Splash is coming through with a line-up built around the music, sounds and communities that have made the festival a staple of London's cultural calendar. At the top of the bill are two of Jamaican music's most commanding figures.

Masicka has established himself as one of the leading voices of contemporary dancehall, combining sharp lyricism with a sound that has helped push the genre to audiences around the world. His appearance comes at a time when his profile continues to grow internationally, making his City Splash return one of the standout bookings of the day.

Joining him is the undisputed Queen of Dancehall, Spice. A global force and one of the most recognisable figures in Jamaican music, Spice has spent more than two decades championing dancehall and remains one of the genre's most influential artists.

The first wave extends beyond the headline names, with City Splash once again putting the spotlight on the selectors, sounds and MCs responsible for keeping London's Caribbean and African music scenes moving. Rampage Sound, DJ Nate & English Fire, DJ Larni, DJ Ace, Izzy Bossy, Pioneer, Supa D, Coldsteps & Terminal 4, Nicky Slimting, Jada Pink and Vybz-SR are all set to join the takeover, with more names still to be announced.

With Masicka and Spice leading the charge, the 2026 Drumsheds edition is already shaping up to be another major celebration of Caribbean and African culture in the capital.

Pre-sale tickets go live at 11am on 3rd September, with fans able to sign up ahead of the release.

And with a second wave of artists still to come, City Splash is clearly only getting started.
