2024
We celebrated our 5th year anniversary in style, curating a day packed with unbelievable artists of all scales, showcasing the very best talent from the UK and beyond. Who’s that girl? Eve had everyone shaking their tambourines with an unforgettable performance. Lady Wray brought a burst of vibrant soulful energy, bringing the sunshine along with her. Current icons like Jalen Ngonda, Thee Sacred Souls, and Son Little had the crowds grooving, while BADBADNOTGOOD kept the energy high with their instrumental mastery. To top it all off, En Vogue closed the night with an incredible set, delivering hit after hit.
2023
In 2023, we once again delivered a stacked lineup of incredible artists across seven stages, crowned by an unforgettable headline set from the superduo NxWorries. The phenomenal jazz quintet Ezra Collective electrified the mainstage, filling the day with pure joy and dance. Kelis had the crowd bouncing as she unleashed hit after hit from her extensive discography. Emerging talent has always been at the heart of Cross The Tracks, and this year was no exception, with rising stars like BINA., The Silhouettes Project and Akemi Fox lit up the stage with their incredible energy. As the sun set over Brockwell Park, Masego set the perfect vibe before Anderson .Paak and Knxwledge brought the main stage to a show-stopping close.
2022
We returned to Brockwell Park bigger, bolder, and once again sold out, delivering the best grooves for you to move to. With a lineup like no other, our passengers danced to the legendary sounds of jazz-funk icon Roy Ayres, soaked up the captivating energy of Joy Crookes and felt the powerful presence of Sean Kuti. They revelled in the unreal vibes of Gotts Street Park before being swept away by a magnetic performance of genre-bending trio Khruanbgin who brought the day to a magical close.
2021
We’re back, a little later than planned, but no delays can stop us now as we go full steam ahead - bigger and better than ever. Showcasing the finest talent in jazz, funk and soul, the incredible Greentea Peng left us mesmerised, whilst Yussef Dayes delivered a powerhouse performance. Pip Millet brought her soulful energy to the stage and Bel Cobain’s sultry vocals cemented her as one to watch in the Neo-Soul scene. To close out the day, 80s disco legends Sister Sledge had the crowd singing their hearts out, and Lianne La Havas brought the day to a stunning finish. Our blend of past, present and future sounds is truly unmatched.
2020
Things got a bit derailed this year… but you haven’t seen the last of us.
2019
Cross The Tracks burst onto the scene in 2019 with a clear mission: to platform the extraordinary talent in jazz, funk, and soul. From legendary icons to emerging voices, we set out to create a space that honours the rich history and exciting future of these genres. Our debut festival featured unforgettable performances from Nubya Garcia, Etta Bond, Eliza, Children of Zeus, Jordan Culpepper, Jordan Rakei and Masego, we were here to make our mark. Closing the show was the Queen of Funk herself, the legendary Chaka Khan. Trust us, this is just the beginning of our journey.
