City Splash’s latest lineup drop solidifies its place as the biggest one-day celebration of Caribbean and African culture in the world. It celebrates the newest voices coming out of Jamaica and the DJs pushing reggae and dancehall culture forwards while bringing the freshest sounds of Amapiano to the stage.
This latest wave of the most exciting and innovative artists from the next generation include Mystic Marley’s genre-defying music, seamlessly blending reggae, hip-hop, soul, R&B, and pop.

Don’t miss Tamo J, whose viral hit ‘Level Up’ has taken the scene by storm with 3.1 million views and rising dancehall star Mehka Don.

From London-based Nicky Summers’ passion for house music to Rosey Gold’s authentic Amapiano blends, European 305’s innovative Funkyama fusion, Larizzle’s expert blend of Amapiano, Tribal House and UK Funky, and Morgan Black’s reputation for Afro House parties – get ready to experience Amapiano like never before.
Also blessing the bill is Skeete with his captivating fusion of R&B, neo-soul, dancehall, and afrobeats, alongside the talents of reggae and dancehall DJs Jamie Rodigan, YNG CPTN, and Nassen.
