Skepta and South Facing present Big Smoke Festival 2025.

Skepta has announced the return of the Big Smoke Festival as part of this year’s South Facing series - the highly anticipated multi-genre music event taking place at Crystal Palace Bowl on Saturday 9th & Sunday 10th August 2025. Following the resounding success of last year’s debut, the festival is back with another incredible lineup, handpicked by the Mercury Prize-winning artist.

Headlining the Big Smoke stage on Saturday is Skepta himself, delivering another electrifying full-scale festival performance. Phase One line up includes the likes of up-and-comer Chy Cartier and Grime Scene Saviour, Chip, ahead of his hotly anticipated LP set for release in April. Big Smoke Festival will also bring together a never seen before B2B of Grime MC FM (JME) and The Den (Frisco), two legends of the UK independent scene. Expect special guests and unforgettable performances - summer 2025 really is the summer of grime.

On Sunday, Más Tiempo will take the reins for a full takeover, with Skepta stepping back on stage, this time taking to the decks. Phase One lineup sees the addition of Maceo Plex, Ilario Alicante, Jammer, and the Menendez Brothers amongst others, with a special guest still TBA.

South Facing - London’s freshest summer series. South Facing is a multi-day festival that takes place each summer in the historically significant Crystal Palace Bowl. The festival debuted in 2021, using the same location that had once hosted massive names, including Elton John, Pink Floyd, The Beach Boys. The Pixies and Bob Marley. The affectionately nicknamed "rusty laptop" stage now boasts a blue plaque to commemorate the location of Marley's biggest and last ever London show in May 1981.
