RALLY Festival Announces First Artists for 2027: Kelela, Shanti Celeste, Loidis, Rhadoo and More
The GALA, Bird On The Wire and NTS festival returns to Southwark Park on August 28. Presale opens Friday.
RALLY has announced the first wave of artists for its 2027 edition, its fifth. The independent music and arts festival returns to Southwark Park, London, on Saturday, August 28, 2027, after its 2026 edition sold out.
Kelela headlines. It’s her only London show of 2027 and comes after her recent sold-out show at Brixton Academy. Her sound mixes contemporary R&B, experimental electronics and underground club music.
The electronic program includes Shanti Celeste, Loidis (live), Rhadoo and OK Williams.
Also on the bill:
- ABRA, the Atlanta-born artist whose music moves between darkwave, R&B and electronic pop
- Chanel Beads, the New York indie group, back after their 2024 set at RALLY
- Fine, the Danish songwriter who draws on dream pop, folk and experimental music
- RÓIS, a multi-instrumentalist and folk composer
- Helen Sun, a rising indie artist
The 2027 theme is “Where The Light Pours In.” Visual art is still a big part of the festival. This year’s installations and performances are designed around Southwark Park itself, and more details are due in the new year.
RALLY is curated by GALA, Bird On The Wire and NTS, and longtime partner NTS returns for 2027.
Presale registration is open now at rallyrallyrally.co.uk. Presale tickets go on sale at 10am UK time on Friday, November 13.
