RALLY FESTIVAL UNVEILS FINAL 2025 LINEUP

RALLY, the community-driven arts and music festival, announces new additions to its 2025 lineup. Joining the programme are Moin, Bassvictim, AMORE, and DJs OK Williams, Sophie McAlister, and FAUZIA.

Returning to Southwark Park on the August Bank Holiday weekend, RALLY’s third edition promises a stacked bill of underground heroes and sonic innovators, co-curated by NTS Radio, GALA, and Bird On The Wire.

Fresh from a sold-out Barbican show, Moin will play their only London festival appearance at RALLY. Known for fusing post-punk, noise rock and experimental electronics, the trio are set to deliver one of the weekend’s most daring sets.

Rising London underground duo Bassvictim have also been announced. Now well known for their explosive live shows and secret sets with the likes of Two Shell, their appearance in Southwark Park promises a high-energy highlight.

With a growing reputation for deeply moving live performances, AMORE’s set is bound to be one of the weekend’s most immersive. The Madrid-based avant-pop artist joins RALLY off the back of sparkling new album Top Hits, Ballads, etc… and following a recent much-acclaimed performance at Primavera Sound in June.

One of London’s finest selectors and NTS favorite OK Williams joins the DJ programme alongside genre-bending talents of FAUZIA – an artist who continues to push club music norms with a fearless approach to rhythm and genre. Melbourne’s Sophie McAlister rounds out the lineup, bringing her signature soulful depth through a sound that blends jazz-tinged vocals, electronic flourishes, and intimate songwriting.

Together, these additions expand RALLY’s musical terrain in bold and dynamic ways – weaving immersive live instrumentation, deep club experimentation, emotionally resonant songwriting, and moments of pure sonic extremity. Their presence not only reinforces RALLY’s commitment to showcasing cutting-edge sound but also enhances its ability to resonate with a diverse range of audiences.

Each bringing a distinct sound and spirit to this year’s edition, they join a stellar line-up of incredible artists, including Floating Points (live), CASISDEAD and Ben UFO. Additional standouts include Geordie Greep(formerly of black midi), POiSON GiRL FRiEND, Porridge Radio (for their last ever London festival show) and Speaker’s Corner Quartet who play a special performance celebrating the life and work of Arthur Russell.

Co-curated by NTS, GALA and Bird On The Wire, RALLY 2025 champions the theme ‘a common purpose’, which will come to life throughout the festival with music, commissioned art installations, talks & spoken word, and immersive spaces designed to strengthen real human connection.
RALLY’s immersive arts programme, curated by Art Director Haja Fanta, showcases innovative visual art, interactive installations, and community-driven projects. Highlights include an installation by ceramist Abi Haywoodand a presentation of photography by CIRCA Prize winner Bernice Mulenga, and commissioned work from up-and-coming Glaswegian artist Trackie McLeod. The programme also features returning collaborations with Disturbance and Camden Art Centre.

RALLY invites all to come together in celebration of music, art, and community on Bank Holiday Weekend, Saturday 23 August. Fourth-tier tickets are available via Resident Advisor: https://ra.co/events/1995528.
