Cross The Tracks 2026 will return to Brockwell Park in Brixton on 24 May 2026, with Little Simz headlining the festival’s seventh edition. The one-day event runs from noon until 10:30pm and also features Joy Crookes, KOKOROKO, WAR, Obongjayar, Lady Wray and Knucks on a bill that stretches from jazz and soul to hip-hop.
The festival has added a secret stage hidden inside an on-site off-licence for 2026, alongside Bossmans presented by ZYN, where Manga St Hilaire, El-B, Wookie, Mixtress, Tailor Jae and Zero are scheduled to appear. The Red Bull Energy stage will host DJ Swisha, Tash LC, Marla Kether, Nina Yamada and Wilfy D, while Fabio and Grooverider are set to appear with The Outlook Orchestra and Channel One Sound System is also on the lineup.
Cross The Tracks is billed as London’s premier jazz, funk and soul festival and one of the capital’s best-loved one-day events, mixing live sets with street food traders and craft beer brewers. The 2026 edition will again draw on that broad musical spread, with Brooke Combe, corto.alto, the Moses Yoofee Trio and The Womack Sisters among the names added to the day’s programme.
Tickets start at £86.40 through DICE and other authorised sellers, and the practical details are as straightforward as the bill. Brockwell Park sits in south London’s Borough of Lambeth, Herne Hill station is a five-minute walk away and the Victoria line to Brixton is around ten minutes on foot from the site. There is no on-site parking.
The festival is all ages, but anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult aged 26 or over, a rule that matters as much as the headliners for families planning the day. Reprezent Radio is also teaming up with Dopameets and Creative Voices Collective to host a workshops tent, which pushes the event beyond a simple run of performances and into the kind of all-day gathering that keeps growing its audience.
