Grime legend Skepta has announced a new curated festival to come to Crystal Palace Park called Big Smoke Festival, which is set to take place on Saturday 6th July 2024.
In what will be a UK exclusive performance, Skepta will bring his legendary back catalogue to the iconic South London park whilst Más Tiempo, the label he founded in 2022, will host another stage.
After a few years away from the live circuit, this will be a one-off chance to see the MC in a unique, specially crafted setting, performing hits such as 'Shutdown' and 'That's Not Me.'
Skepta announced the show on Instagram Live, where he said:
“I’m gassed to finally announce that Big Smoke Festival is official..I’m so excited, it's been a wild one to do this. I just want to say thank you to all the supporters, it's been a couple years that you didn’t see me on a stage..I know a lot of people have been wondering when they’ll see Skepta at a festival and I really wanted to save all that energy and put it into something that was for us, by us. There's going to be a live stage all your favourite acts - anyone you know that’s affiliated with Skepta. There’ll be a live stage on one side and the Más Tiempo stage which will also be a full lineup. I might bust up one stage, fly over to the other one and link with Jammer. It’s gonna be crazy.”
