Cross The Tracks is back for its seventh edition on Sunday 24 May 2026, taking over Brockwell Park in Brixton for a full day of jazz, funk, soul and hip-hop running from noon until 10:30pm. It is one of London’s best-loved one-day festivals, and this year’s lineup makes a strong case for keeping that reputation intact.
Little Simz tops the bill, joined by Joy Crookes and KOKOROKO among the headline names. Further down the order, the bill spans American funk legends WAR, Nigerian-British artist Obongjayar, Lady Wray, Knucks, Brooke Combe, corto.alto, the Moses Yoofee Trio and The Womack Sisters. Drum and bass pioneers Fabio and Grooverider bring a different energy alongside The Outlook Orchestra, while Channel One Sound System hold things down on the roots and reggae tip.
New for 2026, the festival has added a secret stage hidden inside an on-site off-licence, Bossmans presented by ZYN, featuring grime royalty Manga St Hilaire alongside UK garage and bass selectors including El-B, Wookie, Mixtress, Tailor Jae and Zero. The Red Bull Energy stage adds another dimension with DJ Swisha, Tash LC, Marla Kether, Nina Yamada and Wilfy D. Reprezent Radio teams up with community projects Dopameets and Creative Voices Collective to host a workshops tent, with DJ sessions, panel talks and Q&As running throughout the day. London’s finest street food traders and craft beer brewers are also on site.
Tickets start from £86.40 via DICE and other authorised sellers. Brockwell Park sits in south London’s Borough of Lambeth. The nearest rail station is Herne Hill, a five-minute walk from the site; the Victoria line to Brixton is around ten minutes on foot. There is no on-site parking, so public transport is the way to go. The event is all ages, though anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult aged 26 or over.
