Fresh from playing four nights at Alexandra Palace Theatre this past week, Blood Orange has just been announced as the headliner and curator of RALLY festival in London next summer.
RALLY is back for its fourth year in the capital, and takes place once again in the late-summer bank holiday weekend, with a slot at Southwark Park on Saturday, August 29, 2026.
After the release of Essex Honey – the first album by Devonté Hynes under the Blood Orange moniker in six years – this year, it has been confirmed that he will not only top the bill at RALLY, but devise the full lineup for the main stage at the festival. So far, he is the only act confirmed, but we can expect a unique bill that reflects the artist’s taste and influences as he co-curates alongside NTS Radio, GALA and Bird On The Wire.
RALLY have said in a press release that Blood Orange being booked as headliner and co-curator “will play a pivotal role in shaping RALLY’s most ambitious edition yet, performing live and contributing to the curation of the festival’s main stage”. They went on to add that “the 2026 programme will build on a legacy of championing visionary artists across alternative, electronic, and experimental music”.
Last year, acts including CASISDEAD, Floating Points, Ben UFO, MIKE, and more played the festival, so we can expect some more big names to be added to the bill alongside Blood Orange.
