News: Basement Jaxx announce second date for South Facing Festival 2025

2 min read

Due to overwhelming demand, dance music legends Basement Jaxx have added a second headline show at this year’s South Facing Festival. After a decade away from the world’s biggest stages, they are returning with their signature euphoric, high-energy live performance. Basement Jaxx will now headline Crystal Palace Park on both Friday, 22 August, and Saturday, 23 August.

South Facing is a multi-day, open-air festival that takes place each summer in the historically significant Crystal Palace Bowl. The festival boasts a huge choice of top-end street food and drink options  including street food, craft ale and rum shack, and is easily accessible from London and all over the South East thanks to the various train and bus routes, including Crystal Palace (TfL Overground and National Rail), Penge West (TfL Overground and National Rail), and Gipsy Hill (National Rail).

Previous years have included huge headline performances, with Grace Jones, Damian Marley, Supergrass, Sleaford Mods, The English National Opera, Richard Ashcroft, Becky Hill, Bombay Bicycle Club, Jungle, and Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, all gracing the stage.
