Skepta announces return of the Big Smoke Festival
Skepta has announced the return of the Big Smoke Festival as part of this year’s South Facing, taking place at Crystal Palace Bowl on 9-10 August 2025.
Headlining the Big Smoke stage on Saturday is Skepta himself, alongside the likes of Chy Cartier, Chip, a B2B of Grime MC FM (JME) and The Den (Frisco). On Sunday, Más Tiempo will take the reins for a full takeover.
"Big Smoke is a festival in London, for London and I can’t wait for fans to see what we’ve got planned for this year’s edition. We continue to think of new ways to do things differently, so I’m excited to release the full line up. See you at the Bowl in August," Skepta says.
Saturdays general and Sunday pre-sale tickets go on sale 7 March via bigsmokefest.london with payment plan options available.
