RALLY Reveals First Wave of 2027 Line Up

Kelela to headline the one-day festival with her only London show next year.

RALLY has announced the first wave of its 2027 lineup, and it’s led by a rare London appearance. Kelela will headline the festival at Southwark Park, her only show in the capital next year.

Kelela is joined by Atlanta’s ABRA, whose sound shifts between darkwave, R&B and electronic pop, and New York indie group Chanel Beads, who return after an immersive set in 2024. Danish artist Fine, whose songwriting draws on dream pop, folk and experimental music, and rising indie artist Helen Sun complete the first announcements, while the electronic side of the bill brings in Shanti Celeste, Loidis (live), Rhadoo and OK Williams.

This year’s theme is ‘Where The Light Pours In’, which looks at the spaces where different disciplines and ideas collide. Visual art stays central to the festival, with installations and performances woven through the weekend. The plan is for interventions that engage directly with Southwark Park’s landscape and blur the lines between music, art and audience, with more details to come in the new year.

Returning for its fifth edition after a sold-out 2026, RALLY is curated by GALA, Bird On The Wire and NTS, and keeps its DIY ethos, bringing together independent creative communities. NTS returns as a long-standing partner.

Presale registration is open now, with presale tickets on sale from 10am UK time on Friday 13th November.
