Blood Orange to Headline & Co-Curate RALLY 2026

RALLY Festival have announced Blood Orange (Devonté Hynes) as the 2026 headliner and main stage co-curator for its Southwark Park edition on Saturday 29th August 2026 – marking his only UK festival appearance that year.

Off the back of Essex Honey – his first Blood Orange album in six years – and two sold-out Alexandra Palace shows, Hynes returns to London to not only headline but to curate one of the festival’s core stages.

Hynes’ artistic outlook — rooted in independence, experimentation and creative ownership — echoes RALLY’s own mission to platform bold, boundary-pushing voices and nurture artistic integrity. The Essex Honey album captures the warmth and nostalgia that has long shaped the Blood Orange sound — a musical homecoming of sorts, tracing his journey back to England and his Essex roots. It’s an intimate album with collaboration and community at its heart. In that spirit, his return to London for RALLY feels resonant and full-circle.
