London’s Body Movements Festival has announced its full lineup for its fifth edition in 2025, featuring over 50 artists, crews, and club nights. The festival is set to take place on August 24th at Southwark Park, where it will celebrate “queer and trans bodies in club culture”—creating a safe space for the LGBTQIA+ community.
The festival will feature performances by well-known artists such as HAAi, Peach, I. Jordan, Faff, Grace Sands, Midland, and Saoirse, among others. Also performing are Coucou Chloe, Cakes Da Killa, Sarah Sommers with live sets, and Mura Masa, who will take over the festival with a special live audiovisual show.
Co-founder of Body Movements Festival, Clayton Wright, emphasizes the importance of such events for the queer and trans community, which faces scrutiny and attack worldwide. In his words, “Now more than ever, we need spaces that allow us to be ourselves, celebrate our music and culture, and celebrate each other… we invite our allies to rally around us, to share in our collective joy, and we ask them for their continued support towards the queer and trans community. Stand with us, support us, and dance with us.”
There are several crews announced for this year’s edition, including PXSSY PALACE, Adonis, Honeypot, Fèmmme Fraîche, and more. The Body Movements Festival started in 2021 to address the lack of queer-focused music festivals in the UK. The day festival has since expanded to Southwark Park.
Pre-sale tickets will be available on February 5th, with general sale on February 6th. The festival aims to bring together everyone in the community and encourage them to enjoy the music, celebrate, and support each other.
