Over 30,000 people came together in Brockwell Park, Brixton, for what has easily been one of the biggest events in London this year.

From the food stalls and sound systems to the flags waving high in the crowd, City Splash once again transformed South London into a slice of the Caribbean.

And trust mi…

Di vibes did different.

In

Aidonia Shell Di Place 🔥

One of the most anticipated performances of the day came from Aidonia, and di JOP boss never disappoint. From the minute he stepped on stage, thousands of fans — especially the ladies 😭 — were singing every lyric word for word. The crowd response was absolutely crazy.

Every hit song got a forward.

Every chorus got a singalong.

The energy from Aidonia’s set could be felt right across the park. If there was any doubt why he’s still one of dancehall’s biggest names, City Splash reminded everybody.

Jada Kingdom Deserved A Bigger Crowd 👑

One of the talking points of the day was the clash between Jada Kingdom’s performance and reggae legend Beres Hammond’s headline set.

Now let’s be real…

If Beres Hammond is performing, plenty people ago run go see Beres. 😂

Unfortunately, because the stages were so far apart, festival-goers were forced to choose between the two performances. Many fans left Jada’s stage to catch Beres, which resulted in a smaller crowd than she deserved.

But credit where credit is due.

Jada Kingdom still delivered an incredible performance. Her vocals, stage presence and energy were top tier from start to finish.

No fault of the artist at all.

Just one of those festival scheduling situations where two major acts probably shouldn’t have been performing at the same time.

Caribbean Culture At Its Finest 🇯🇲

The lineup was stacked from start to finish.

With performances from:

🔥 Aidonia

🔥 Elephant Man

🔥 Gyptian

🔥 Skippa

🔥 Jada Kingdom

🔥 Beres Hammond

and plenty more.

City Splash continues to do what it does best — bringing together the very best of Caribbean music, culture and community under one roof. Whether yuh come fi dancehall, reggae, lovers rock or pure vibes, there was something for everybody.

A Win For Caribbean Culture

Leading up to the festival, City Splash faced legal challenges from a local campaign group

attempting to stop the event from taking place.

Thankfully, organisers successfully fought off those challenges and delivered another unforgettable event.

And after seeing the turnout, the atmosphere and the positive impact on the community, it’s clear why City Splash remains one of London’s most important cultural festivals.

Beres Hammond Closed The Show Like A Legend 🎤

As the sun began to set over Brockwell Park, one of reggae’s greatest voices reminded everyone why he’s still in a league of his own.

Thousands sang along.

Phones lit up the sky.

Jamaican flags waved everywhere.

It was the perfect ending to a day that celebrated Caribbean music at the highest level. A true goosebumps moment.
