Artists We Can’t Wait to See at RALLY 2025

A day of boundary-pushing performances and shared moments, RALLY 2025 brings together underground icons, rising talents and a spirit of community in Southwark Park.

RALLY has quietly become one of London’s most exciting one-day festivals, a place where underground favourites, left-field discoveries and big-name innovators all share the same space. Now in its third year, it returns to Southwark Park this August Bank Holiday with a lineup that feels both unpredictable and perfectly tuned to the city’s creative pulse. Here are some of the acts we’re making a beeline for.

Moin

Fresh from a sold-out show at the Barbican, Moin arrive for their only London festival appearance of the year. Their sound is a collision of post-punk grit, jagged noise rock and experimental electronics, the kind of set that feels like it could teeter off the rails at any moment, in the best way possible.

Bassvictim

London’s Bassvictim have been steadily building a reputation through explosive live shows and word-of-mouth secret sets with acts like Two Shell. Their appearance at RALLY is shaping up to be a high-octane moment, likely to send the Southwark Park crowd into overdrive.

AMORE

Madrid-based avant-pop artist AMORE has been turning heads with her immersive performances and vivid songwriting. Her new album Top Hits, Ballads, etc… blends theatrical flair with deeply felt emotion, and after a standout Primavera Sound set earlier this summer, RALLY feels like the perfect stage for her UK return.

OK Williams, FAUZIA and Sophie McAlister

Three DJs, three completely different approaches, all guaranteed to get the crowd moving. OK Williams brings her signature razor-sharp selections, FAUZIA continues to blur the boundaries of club music with fearless genre-bending, and Sophie McAlister weaves soulful vocals into warm, jazz-inflected electronics.

Speaker’s Corner Quartet

It’s hard to think of a better setting than RALLY for a set honouring the life and work of Arthur Russell. The London collective’s fusion of jazz, spoken word and orchestral textures promises to be one of the festival’s most moving moments.

Whether you’re there for the boundary-pushing live acts, the deep-dive DJ sets or the art installations dotted across the park, RALLY is offering a rare mix: a festival that feels as much about connection as it does about discovery. This August, Southwark Park might just be the place where you find your new favourite artist.
