Bermondsey Carnival 2025

The much-loved Bermondsey Carnival is back this summer on Monday 25th August, promising an unforgettable day of music, entertainment, and family fun – all completely free of charge. Set in the heart of Southwark Park, this iconic event continues its tradition of bringing the community together through culture, celebration, and creativity.

🎶 Headliners Bringing the Heat

This year’s musical lineup is headlined by UK garage legends DJ Luck & MC Neat, along with ska revivalists **The Beat ft Rankin jnr**. Rising star **Katya** is also set to wow the crowd with her fresh sound, alongside local favourite **Noel from Bermondsey Radio**, spinning classic club anthems. **Kinetika Bloco**—a youth music charity featuring vibrant young brass and woodwind players, drummers, steel pan musicians, and dancers all adorned in costumes, producing a fresh, distinctive British Carnival sound with a touch of London flair will be opening proceedings.

But that’s not all – the Bermondsey Carnival stage will spotlight six exciting young DJs, all under 30, offering a vibrant and diverse mix of sounds.
