Little Simz has been announced as the headliner for Cross The Tracks 2026, set to take place Sunday, May 24, 2026, at Brockwell Park, London. Returning for its seventh year, the festival has revealed the first wave of its stellar lineup, featuring KOKOROKO, Obongjayar, Lady Wray, Brooke Combe, Bricknasty, and more, with additional acts to be announced.
Following a Mercury Prize-winning career and a triumphant UK arena tour, Little Simz’s headline set will mark her debut appearance at Cross The Tracks — and one of her biggest festival moments to date. The event’s reputation for blending jazz, funk, soul, and contemporary sounds makes it the perfect stage for Simz’s boundary-pushing artistry.
Known for its commitment to inclusivity, community, and diversity, Cross The Tracks continues to shine as one of the UK’s most beloved festivals. Its gender-balanced lineup and dedication to showcasing both homegrown and international talent have made it a cornerstone of London’s summer music calendar.
The 2025 edition featured unforgettable performances from Michael Kiwanuka, Ezra Collective, Jordan Rakei, and Free Nationals. With Little Simz leading the 2026 bill and an exciting lineup already confirmed, Cross The Tracks looks set to raise the bar once again for soulful, forward-thinking live music experiences.
