CROSS THE TRACKS ANNOUNCES THEIR THIRD WAVE OF ARTISTS FOR THEIR 2026 FESTIVAL

Cross The Tracks is excited to announce their third wave of artists for their 2026 fest­iv­al, includ­ing the legendary Fabio & Grooverider and The Out­look Orchestra.

Explor­ing clas­sic anthems in ways nev­er before exper­i­enced and spark­ing the ima­gin­a­tion of gen­er­a­tions of music lov­ers, the show will fea­ture out­stand­ing orches­tral rendi­tions of the scene’s most icon­ic and well-loved tracks.

Argu­ably one of the most legendary part­ner­ships in music, Fabio & Grooverider remain at the fore­front of a scene they helped build, cham­pi­on­ing the now glob­al sounds of jungle, drum & bass and bey­ond. Now, these god­fath­ers of the scene will per­form at London’s Cross The Tracks this May.

Join­ing them are sing­er, rap­per and pro­du­cer Mereba, Scot­tish com­poser and pro­du­cer corto.alto, explos­ive jazz group Moses Yoofee Trio, neo-soul sweet­heart Liz­zie Ber­ch­ie, multi-dis­cip­lin­ary artist Demae, rising north Lon­don star Ama Louise, one of rap’s most excit­ing pro­spects Paul Stephan who’ll be join­ing Bexblu onstage, and 2026 MOBO Awards Best New­comer nom­in­ee namesbliss.

They’ll be join­ing Mer­cury Prize-win­ning head­liner Little Simz, the out­stand­ing Joy Crookes, Lon­don-based Afrobeat col­lect­ive KOKOROKO, the infec­tious Obong­ja­yar, cel­eb­rated neo-soul musi­cian Lady Wray, and so many more.
