London's music scene is set for an exciting addition to next summer's festival calendar with the announcement that Blood Orange will headline and curate the 2026 edition of RALLY Festival.
What to Expect at RALLY Festival 2026
The south London day festival returns to Southwark Park on Saturday, 29 August 2026, taking full advantage of the August bank holiday weekend. This marks the fourth edition of the forward-thinking event, which is co-curated with influential partners including NTS Radio, GALA and Bird On The Wire.
Dev Hynes, the British-born, New York-based artist behind Blood Orange, will bring his distinctive sound to the festival. Known for blending synth funk, experimental beats and emotional depth, his performance promises to be a highlight of London's summer music schedule.
Artist Background and Recent Work
The announcement comes at an exciting time for Blood Orange fans. Hynes released his first album in six years, Essex Honey, in August this year. The critically acclaimed record features notable collaborations with artists including Lorde and Brendan Yates, generating significant buzz among music enthusiasts.
While the full lineup for RALLY Festival 2026 hasn't been revealed yet, the 2025 edition featured artists such as Floating Points, AMORE, Porridge Radio, Ben UFO and OK Williams. This suggests attendees can anticipate another year of alternative, electronic and experimental music, with poetry performances also likely to feature.
