Little Simz, Obongjayar, KOKOROKO & more announced for Cross The Tracks 2026
The Mercury Prize-winning Simz will top the bill of the Brockwell Park event next summer.

Fresh from her two huge arena shows that took place earlier this month, Little Simz has been announced as the headliner for next year’s edition of Cross The Tracks festival.
Taking place in Brockwell Park next summer, the innovative event - which celebrates all things jazz, funk and soul - will play host to Simz for her first ever festival headline slot, following the release of her incredible album ‘Lotus’, which landed earlier this year. What’s more, they’ve also announced a handful of other acts, including the likes of London collective KOKOROKO, longtime Simz collaborator Obongjayar and soul singer Brooke Combe.
Tickets for next year’s edition of the event go on sale soon - sign up to be notified ahead of time by heading to the festival’s website. The full list of names added to the bill for Cross The Track 2026 - which will take place on Sunday 24th May in South London’s Brockwell Park - is as follows.
