Dancehall royalty confirmed as City Splash announces full first wave for Drumsheds 2026

City Splash is taking over London's renowned Drumsheds venue once again on Saturday, 21st November for its third year at the venue. This week they've announced a star-studded lineup of artists, DJs and MCs who are guaranteed to bring the vibes in true City Splash style.

Known for championing the very best in Caribbean and African music, City Splash brings a stacked lineup to Drumsheds, headlined by two of dancehall's biggest names: Masicka and Spice.

One of the most commanding voices in contemporary Jamaican music, Masicka has established himself at the forefront of a new generation of dancehall stars. Known for his razor-sharp lyricism, distinctive flow and huge records including Tyrant, Moments and Update, his rise from Jamaica to the international stage has made him one of the genre's most exciting artists. His appearance at Drumsheds will see him bring his unmistakable energy to one of City Splash's biggest stages yet.

Making her return to City Splash is the undisputed Queen of Dancehall, Spice. A global force and one of the most recognisable figures in Jamaican music, Spice has spent more than two decades pushing dancehall forward. From anthems such as So Mi Like It to her GRAMMY-nominated debut album 10, her high-energy performances, fearless personality and unmistakable sound have made her an icon of the genre.

Also joining the lineup are some of the most exciting selectors, sounds and MCs from across the UK scene, including Rampage Sound, DJ Nate & English Fire, DJ Larni, DJ Ace, Izzy Bossy, Pioneer, Supa D, Coldsteps & Terminal 4, Nicky Slimting, Jada Pink and Vybz-SR, with even more acts still to be announced.

Spread across three rooms and surrounded by 15,000 music lovers, City Splash promises to be an unforgettable celebration of culture. The lineup includes Rampage Sound, one of the UK's most influential sound systems and a fixture of Notting Hill Carnival, alongside long-time City Splash collaborator Izzy Bossy.

Elsewhere, DJ Nate & English Fire, DJ Larni, DJ Ace and Nicky Slimting bring some of the UK's most respected club and radio selectors to the takeover, while Pioneer, Supa D, Coldsteps & Terminal 4 unite for a heavyweight celebration of Afro House and underground sounds. Jada Pink and Vybz-SR complete the first wave, with further names set to be revealed.

Promising a day filled with the best in Caribbean music, City Splash will showcase the very best of Reggae, Dancehall, RnB, Soca, Bouyon and beyond, setting the stage for a celebration of music and culture.

Drumsheds, a repurposed industrial warehouse with a 15,000 capacity, opened in October 2023 and has quickly become a vital space for diverse cultural programming in London. The venue has emerged as a place where culture thrives on a massive scale, making it the perfect home for City Splash's huge indoor takeover.
