RALLY

Seasoned London festival-goers have been singing the praises of this 10,000-capacity Southwark Park festival since it debuted in 2023, thanks to its boutique size, community vibe and collaborative line-ups created with help from some of the city’s best culture venues. So we’re pleased to say that Rally is coming back for a fourth edition in 2026, with a very exciting line-up curated by Blood Orange. Dev Hynes – AKA the guy behind Blood Orange – will bring his signature blend of synth funk, experimental beats and emotional depth to Southwark Park. Hynes will headline and has hand-picked the rest of the line-up. Of course, we always knew we could trust his good taste.

The rest of the fest’s programme includes Daniel Avery performing with a full band, ethereal electronic pop girlie james K and the legendary Glaswegian DJ duo Optimo (Espacio). Rally 2026 will see the first ever UK performance from Jump Source – the project of Montréal-based DJs and producers Priori and Patrick Holland – alongside sets from GENA, out-there DJ and producer Parris, a special live show from Roman Flügel, and Pitchfork-approved artists like Norwegian slinky poppers Smerz and US experimental rockers YHWH Nailgun.
