Ezra Collective Announced As Headliners For Cross The Tracks 2025
We don’t need to sugarcoat things, our lineup speaks for itself x
We thought our wonderful passengers deserved a little sweet treat for bringing nothing but pure energy to Brockwell Park for the past 5 years. After much deliberation it hit us… How about two Mercury prize-winning headliners for the price of one?
Yep, you read that right, the incredible Ezra Collective are returning to the CTT stage, this time with a coveted headline slot alongside Michael Kiwanuka!
Ezra Collective’s 2024 album, Dance, No One's Watching, is an ode to the sacred, yet joyous act of dancing. Since their 2023 Mercury Prize win, they’ve gained even more critical acclaim including FOUR nominations at this year’s BRIT Awards!
Unrestrained by genre or convention, and with an electric stage presence, Ezra Collective are set to be an unmissable headliner at Cross The Tracks.
Also new to the roster is Anderson .Paak's live band Free Nationals, Dutch-Caribbean singer/songwriter Naomi Sharon, South London-based curatorial platform and NTS Radio residents Touching Bass - Alex Rita & Errol, a DJ set from music discovery platform Somewhere Soul, a live performance from genre-bending artist Dargz, and South London soul singer Nia Smith, innovative artist BexBlu, DJ set from South London selectors Naima Adams (DJ) & Sammseed and the talented Last Nubian feat Achanté.
We’ve also got a banging Handson Family Heritage Stage takeover featuring: Mr Thing, Vanessa Freeman, LyricaL + The Shejay, Exhibit69, and special guests Janet Kay, Carroll Thompson (live), IG Culture, Sarah Love, Colin Dale, and Glade Marie.
They’ll be joining our already packed lineup with headliner Michael Kiwanuka, renowned musician Jordan Rakei, experimental jazz musician Nala Sinephro, legendary early-'70s British group Cymande, rising R&B icon Sinéad Harnett and so, so many more!
God Gave You Feet For Dancing, so come and boogie with us on May Bank Holiday Sunday for a celebration of jazz, funk and soul like you’ve never seen before.
