London’s independent music and arts festival returns to Southwark Park on 28 August 2027, bringing together underground electronic music, alternative sounds and contemporary art.
RALLY Festival has revealed the first wave of artists for its 2027 edition, with Romanian minimal specialist Rhadoo and Loidis, the microhouse project of Brian Leeds, among the standout names for underground electronic music fans.
Set to take place on Saturday, 28 August 2027, at Southwark Park in London, the festival will return for its fifth edition with a programme that moves between experimental electronics, alternative R&B, house and independent music.
While Kelela leads the announcement as the festival’s headliner, the inclusion of Rhadoo and a live performance from Loidis gives the lineup a particularly interesting dimension for listeners drawn to the deeper edges of club culture.
Rhadoo and Loidis Bring Underground Club Sounds to RALLY
For followers of the European minimal scene, Rhadoo needs little introduction. A central figure in Romania’s influential underground electronic music movement and a member of the [a:rpia] collective alongside Raresh and Petre Inspirescu, he has helped shape a distinctive approach to stripped-back rhythms, hypnotic grooves and extended DJ sets.
His appearance at RALLY adds a strong minimal presence to a festival already known for bringing different musical communities together.
Equally compelling is the confirmation of Loidis (live).
The project, an alias of producer Brian Leeds, explores subtle rhythmic structures and atmospheric textures associated with microhouse and experimental electronic music. A live performance offers a different proposition from a conventional DJ set, making it one of the most intriguing bookings in the festival’s opening announcement.
Together, Rhadoo and Loidis represent two different approaches to underground dance music, united by an emphasis on detail, rhythm and musical exploration.
RALLY Festival 2027: First Confirmed Artists
Beyond Rhadoo and Loidis, the initial announcement features a broad selection of artists spanning electronic music, experimental pop and alternative R&B.
Confirmed artists include:
- Kelela
- Rhadoo
- Loidis (live)
- Shanti Celeste
- OK Williams
- ABRA
- Chanel Beads
- Fine
- Helen Sun
- RÓIS
Kelela is set to headline the event with what organisers have announced as her only London performance of 2027.
The lineup reflects RALLY’s commitment to bringing together different musical perspectives rather than focusing exclusively on a single genre.
More Than Music: RALLY’s Independent Festival Identity
Curated by GALA, Bird On The Wire and NTS, RALLY has developed an identity that connects independent music, visual art and creative communities.
The 2027 edition will follow the theme Where The Light Pours In, with installations and artistic performances designed to interact with the landscape of Southwark Park.
Further details of the arts programme and additional artist announcements are expected in 2027.
For underground electronic music followers, RALLY’s appeal lies partly in this crossover between different scenes. A programme featuring Rhadoo and Loidis alongside artists such as Kelela and Chanel Beads creates opportunities for musical discovery beyond the boundaries of a traditional club-focused festival.
