Body Movements Festival returns for 2025, taking over the green expanse of Southwark Park for a day of boundary-pushing club culture on August 24th. An unmissable fixture on the UK’s queer electronic music calendar, Body Movements once again assembles a bold, future-facing lineup that promises deep connection through rhythm and dance. Leading the charge this year is songwriting powerhouse and electronic visionary Romy, whose emotionally-charged anthems will provide a shimmering centrepiece.
Alongside, the festival welcomes genre-melting innovators like HAAi, I. JORDAN, and Saoirse, each bringing forward-thinking selections that blend euphoric techno, pulsating breaks, and hybrid club sounds. Mura Masa joins with his infectious crossover energy, while underground pillars such as Midland, Lakuti, and Tama Sumo guarantee high-impact, crate-digging sets that celebrate electronic music’s diverse roots.
Across the park, expect sweat-soaked dancefloors helmed by icons and emerging voices alike: Angel D’lite’s rave-fuelled chaos, Cakes Da Killa’s electrifying mic presence, COUCOU CHLOE’s murky club experiments, and the inimitable ballroom energy of Jay Jay Revlon. From the raw energy of Narciss and Roi Perez to the genre-hopping sounds of Peach, Lagoon Femshayma, Lady Shaka, and Donnie Sunshine, each stage showcases the cross-section of the scene that makes Body Movements so vital. The festival’s commitment to platforming queer artists and collectives shines through in appearances from Grace Sands, Jess Hands, Mark-Ashley Dupé, Michelle Manetti, Miss Bashful x DBBD, and GIDEÖN, alongside new vanguards like CHEZA LUCINA, LEXII., and HEZEN.
Prepare yourself for unexpected back-to-backs, vital live performances, and that unmistakable Body Movements energy pulsing beneath the trees. Body Movements Festival 2025 maps club music’s future with a lineup as diverse and exciting as the communities it celebrates. Don’t miss this day of unity, euphoria, and dancefloor liberation in the heart of South London.
