Brockwell Live’s series of festivals for Brockwell Park in 2026 unanimously approved by Lambeth Council Planning

To absolutely no-one’s surprise, Lambeth Council has rubber stamped its approval for a controversial series of large commercial festivals to take place in Brockwell park later this year.

Brockwell Live 2026 will comprise of four music festivals across two weekends: Field Day, Cross the Tracks, City Splash, and Mighty Hoopla, with the latter lasting for two days – but this year there will be no free Lambeth Country Show.

In a statement, Brockwell Live said:

“Our team would like to thank the residents and stakeholders who engaged with us throughout the planning process, sharing both feedback and support.

We’re pleased with the outcome, which recognises the cultural and social value of the Brockwell Live series, alongside the significant economic contribution it makes to Lambeth and Greater London, particularly at a time when night-time and creative economies across the country face increasing pressure.

Our commitment to delivering the events responsibly and with care for the park and its neighbours continues beyond this decision. We will remain in active dialogue with the community and will share further updates in the coming months on the new schemes underway to support and enhance the park’s biodiversity.

With events already selling out, we look forward to welcoming audiences back to Brockwell Park this May for what promises to be our strongest edition yet.”
