Alexandra Palace today announces the full line-up for Kaleidoscope Festival 2025. Returning to the People’s Palace on Saturday 12 July, the programme features a packed line-up of live music, DJs and comedy, ready to entertain thousands at London’s most beautiful festival site.
Newly announced today, the Fringe Stage offers a variety of entertainment from renowned comedian and speaker SHAPPI KHORSANDI and stand-up ANDREW MAXWELL, plus DARRAN GRIFFITHS and ALEXANDRA HADDOW, alongside BEATLES DUB CLUB’s unique spin on the Fab Four, crowd participation favourite HIP HOP KARAOKE and high-energy Shakespeareans FOUR FORTY THEATRE.
Over on the Cloud 10 stage, newly announced acts BRANDON BLOCK, MELLE BROWN and MAS QUE NADA BROTHERS join Bristol native EATS EVERYTHING and garage favourite DJ SPOONY on the exciting line-up of eclectic DJs.
All this, plus a dedicated Family Area – a mini festival in itself – featuring pop-up arts, circus and theatre.
As previously announced, dance music legends FAITHLESS will be headlining on the Hilltop Stage, performing live. They will be joined by pioneering drum and bass artist GOLDIE performing with his full live band; BBC Radio 2 DJ SARA COX’s ‘Power Wower’, an interactive all-requests DJ set full of non-stop festival bangers; British indie legends SLEEPER, and the uplifting ‘R’ VOICES CHOIR.
Simon Fell, Kaleidoscope Director commented: “I’m thrilled Kaleidoscope is back with our best line-up yet! From Faithless headlining to iconic acts like Goldie and Eats Everything, this year’s event is set to be unforgettable. With a diverse programme that includes comedy, exploring the Victorian Basements and our beautiful festival site offering incredible panoramic views of London, Kaleidoscope is truly unique. Our expanded Family Area will also keep the little ones entertained. I’m especially excited to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Faithless’ legendary concert at Ally Pally and 30 years since Goldie’s groundbreaking ‘Timeless’ album. Plus, we’re celebrating Kaleidoscope’s 5th anniversary – it’s going to be our best year yet!”
Kaleidoscope takes place in the award-winning Alexandra Palace Park, with its unparalleled, panoramic views across London, perfect for music fans, families and fun-seekers alike.
Kaleidoscope forms part of Ally Pally’s Outdoor Summer Season, an eclectic run of outdoor live music which will include Aussie blues rockers THE TESKEY BROTHERS (10 July), blues-infused rockers THE BLACK KEYS (11 July) and indie legends KAISER CHIEFS (19 July) who will be celebrating 20 years of their hit debut album Employment, with more acts still to be announced.
The Summer Season runs alongside a packed indoor programme of music in 2025 in the Palace’s Victorian Theatre and iconic Great Hall. Iggy Pop, Frank Turner & the Sleeping Souls, Justice, Maribou State, Spiritbox, Louis Dunford, KAYTRANADA, Wunderhorse, Ocean Alley and Amyl and the Sniffers are just some of the artists already confirmed to play Ally Pally in 2025.
