Kaleidoscope Festival is back at Alexandra Palace on Saturday 12 July 2025, and it’s bringing serious party energy to North London’s most scenic green space.
Now in its sixth year, the day-long festival combines live music, top-tier DJs, stand-up comedy and a heap of family fun—with the panoramic views to match.
This year’s headliners? Dance icons Faithless (yes, Insomnia live with a full band), jungle pioneer Goldie, and BBC Radio 2’s Sara Cox with a high-energy, all-request DJ set. Indie legends Sleeper and the soul-stirring ‘R’ Voices Choir round out the Hilltop Stage.
On the Cloud 10 stage, expect bangers from Eats Everything, DJ Spoony, Brandon Block, Melle Brown and more. Over at the Fringe Stage, the laughs roll in with Shappi Khorsandi, Andrew Maxwell, and festival faves like Hip Hop Karaoke and Beatles Dub Club.
Bringing the kids? The Family Area is a mini-festival in its own right—think circus acts, theatre, giant bubbles, live music and creative workshops all day long.
Director Simon Fell calls it “our best line-up yet” and honestly, we’re inclined to agree. It’s part of Ally Pally’s Outdoor Summer Season, which also features The Teskey Brothers (10 July), The Black Keys (11 July), and Kaiser Chiefs (19 July).
