Cross The Tracks unveil Michael Kiwanuka as 2025 headliner 

South London’s Cross The Tracks festival has unveiled the first wave of artists on its 2025 lineup, including Mercury Prize winning headliner Michael Kiwanuka. 

Set to release his latest album ‘Small Changes’ next week (15th November) via Polydor Records, Michael is a figurehead of contemporary soul, and will top the bill at Brockwell Park’s annual celebration of all things jazz, funk, and soul on 25th May 2025.

Elsewhere on the lineup are the likes of Jordan Rakei, Cymande, and Sinéad Harnett, while crowds will also be treated to DJ sets from Gilles Peterson, musclecars, DJ Shy One and more. 

Now in its sixth year, previous editions of Cross The Tracks have always sold-out; you can find out more about 2025’s installment and grab tickets for next year’s festival here.
