The influence of reggae and all things Caribbean and African on the UK’s sound system culture is undeniable. It has helped enrich the music scene for over 50 years and all of that is reflected at City Splash Festival. It is a carefully curated and all encompassing reggae, dancehall and afrobeats, food, and culture festival in London. This edition takes over Brockwell Park, a lush rolling green space with ornamental ponds, formal flower beds and a wall garden, lakes and plenty of sloping grounds to explore and relax in.
