Fresh off the buzz of her newest album, Juniper, Joy Crookes has been established as one of the country’s most outstanding vocalists and a once-in-a-generation artist. Her debut album ‘Skin’ was both a commercial and critical success, landing at #5 on the UK Official Charts and receiving BRIT nominations, a Mercury Prize nod and a fiercely loyal fanbase. Following on from her spectacular performance at Cross The Tracks in 2022, JOY CROOKES is set to make her return to Brockwell Park this May.
Joining her is Aussie soul singer DON WEST, who is carving out his own distinctive place in the soul genre. Drawing inspiration from legends like Marvin Gaye and Curtis Mayfield, as well as contemporary artists such as Jalen Ngonda and Thee Sacred Souls, DON WEST brings a fresh yet timeless sound to modern soul.
Also new to the lineup is one of the most popular funk groups of the 1970s, WAR. Known for blending eclectic, freely melding soul, Latin, jazz, blues, reggae, and rock influences into an effortlessly funky whole.
New names also include London-based producer BEXBLU, enchanting R&B artist CHARLOTTE DOWSSON, timeless artist BROTHER WALLACE and THE JOSH BARRY EXPERIENCE.
They’ll be joining Mercury Prize-winning headliner LITTLE SIMZ, London-based Afrobeat collective KOKOROKO, the infectious OBONGJAYAR, celebrated neo-soul musician LADY WRAY and so many more.
