RALLY Festival Reveals 2025 Lineup ft. Floating Points, CASISDEAD and MIKE

RALLY festival reveals the lineup for its highly anticipated 2025 return. The community-driven visual arts and music festival is returning to Southwark Park for its third edition on Saturday, 23rd August 2025. RALLY is a yearly celebration of community, collaboration, and creativity with a DIY focus.

Setting high expectations in the years before, RALLY continues to give us exceptional lineups. This year’s lineup boasts the likes of electronic genius Floating Points, Brit Award winner CASISDEAD and underground hip-hop royalty MIKE.

Co-curated by NTS, GALA and Bird On The Wire, RALLY 2025 champions the theme ‘a common purpose,’ which will come to life throughout the festival with commissioned art installations, talks & spoken word, and immersive spaces designed to strengthen real human connection.

Expect Headliners Floating Points and CASISDEAD to showcase their critically acclaimed recent projects and prove why they deserve their place at the top. Former Black Midi member Geordie Greep brings his bold new solo work to the stage, while Takuya Nakamura offers his incredibly eclectic sound and multi-instrumental talents.

MIKE is an unrelenting force in the Avant Rap space; the latest project Showbiz!, is his magnum opus. Equally on form is Astrid Sonne, who brings her Neo-classical Scandinavian sounds to the programme.

Speaker’s Corner Quartet celebrates Arthur Russell, is a standout feature of this year’s edition. A homage to the life and work of avant-garde American musician and composer Arthur Russell delivered by the South London spoken-word supergroup.

Aside from the music, RALLY has announced its immersive arts programme, which transforms Southwark Park into an open-air art gallery. Curated by Art Director Haja Fanta, the programme features cutting-edge visual art, interactive installations, and community-led creative projects. Artists include ceramist Abi Haywood alongside CIRCA Prize winner Bernice Mulenga. Returning collaborators Disturbance and Camden Art Centre are joined by new partners Studio Chapple and Gallery of the Giants, who are showcasing their miniature viewings at the festival.

Giles Napier, founder of RALLY, says:

“Each year we strive to create an environment where creativity thrives and where diverse voices are not only celebrated, but brought into conversation with one another. This year, more than ever, we’re embracing that ethos by offering spaces for collaboration, shared experiences, and open dialogue. It’s about creating moments that stay with people long after the music stops and the art comes down.”
