London's Crystal Palace Park is set to be ablaze with the hottest acts in the music scene as Skepta unveils the electrifying lineup for the first-ever Big Smoke Festival on Saturday, July 6, 2024. This one-day musical extravaganza promises an unforgettable celebration of diverse genres, curated personally by the Mercury Prize-winning icon himself.

Headlining the Big Smoke Stage, Skepta will deliver a full-scale festival show, marking his exclusive UK performance of 2024. Joining him on this groundbreaking stage are powerhouse acts, including The Streets, Mahalia, JME, Lancey, K-Trap, Odumodublvck, and The Den featuring Frisco, Flowdan, Sir Spyro, Infamousizak, Manga, Thafirst, and a special guest yet to be announced.

For fans craving a mix of house, amapiano, and beyond, the Más Tiempo Stage is set to ignite with performances by Loco Dice, Uncle Waffles, Syreeta, Jammer (DJ Set), HoneyLuv, Kitty Amor, Ossie, and The Menendez Brothers.

Skepta, the driving force behind the festival, expressed his excitement, saying, "Big Smoke Festival is about building something and more doors opening. We’ve been thinking about what we can do to make a good festival and bring people together because right now everyone’s just on their phones."

As a testament to his influence, Skepta's Más Tiempo label has elevated the house music scene, solidifying his status as an industry mogul. Returning to rap, Skepta has recently released his new project, '48 Hours,' and teased a new track, 'Gas Me Up,' making the Big Smoke Festival the only place to witness Skepta's UK performance in 2024.

Joining the lineup, The Streets, led by Mike Skinner, brings their celebrated sixth album, 'The Darker The Shadow The Brighter The Light,' to the stage, promising an unforgettable performance. Tickets for the Big Smoke Festival are on sale now, with payment plan options available. Skepta's vision for the festival goes beyond the music, aiming to create an immersive experience that draws people away from their phones and into a shared celebration of music culture.
