City Splash has confirmed Masicka and Spice as headliners for its third takeover of London’s Drumsheds, taking place on Saturday 21 November 2026.
The world’s biggest independent one day celebration of Caribbean and African culture has unveiled a stacked first wave of artists, DJs and MCs for the indoor date, with even more names still to be announced.
One of the most commanding voices in contemporary Jamaican music, Masicka has established himself at the forefront of a new generation of dancehall stars. Known for his razor sharp lyricism, distinctive flow and huge records including Tyrant, Moments and Update, his rise from Jamaica to the international stage has made him one of the genre’s most exciting artists. His Drumsheds appearance will see him bring that energy to one of City Splash’s biggest stages yet.
Making her return is the undisputed Queen of Dancehall, Spice, who previously featured on the 2025 first wave. A global force and one of the most recognisable figures in Jamaican music, she has spent more than two decades pushing dancehall forward, from anthems such as So Mi Like It to her GRAMMY nominated debut album 10.
The takeover will be spread across three rooms and surrounded by 15,000 music lovers. A ticket presale opened at 11am on Thursday 3 September, with fans able to sign up here.
Drumsheds, a repurposed industrial warehouse with a 15,000 capacity, opened in October 2023 and has quickly become a vital space for diverse cultural programming in London. City Splash is returning for a third year at the venue, which organisers see as the perfect home for the huge indoor celebration.
Also joining the line-up are some of the most exciting selectors, sounds and MCs from across the UK scene. Rampage Sound, one of the UK’s most influential sound systems and a fixture of Notting Hill Carnival, is joined by long time City Splash collaborator Izzy Bossy. DJ Nate & English Fire, DJ Larni, DJ Ace and Nicky Slimting bring some of the UK’s most respected club and radio selectors to the bill, while Pioneer, Supa D, Coldsteps & Terminal 4 unite for a heavyweight celebration of Afro House and underground sounds. Jada Pink and Vybz-SR complete the first wave.
The indoor date follows City Splash 2026 at Brockwell Park on Monday 25 May, which is set to be headlined by Beres Hammond. Promising a day filled with the best in Caribbean music, the Drumsheds takeover will showcase Reggae, Dancehall, RnB, Soca, Bouyon and beyond.
