Lambeth council has published planning application documents for the 2026 Brockwell Live events in the park and opened consultation on them that runs until 31 December.
It allows for 32 days of set-up, events and de-installation, including “wet weather buffer days”.
Protect Brockwell Park (PBP), the campaign group that opposes large events in. the park, said this meant that, as opposed to the 2025 event, the community would be “part of the discussion” and that there would be a prior full assessment t of the impact of the events on “amenity, ecology, access and noise”.
It advised its supporters to wait to comment until it had “waded through” the 69 planning documents published by the council.
Tickets for the events have been on sale for some time with some categories already sold out.
The events, with a maximum capacity of 30,000, are:
Field Day – electronic – Saturday 23 May, tickets £70 and upwards
Cross The Tracks – jazz & funk – Sunday 24 May, tickets £70 and upwards
City Splash – reggae, dancehall and Afrobeat – Monday 25 May, tickets £70 and upwards
Mighty Hoopla – pop with an emphasis on queer culture – Saturday and Sunday 30 and 31 May, tickets £100 and up. With Lily Allen topping the bill, Saturday is already sold out.
The website for the previously free Brockwell Bounce festival for children and families is promising “updates soon” about its timing and a “refreshed” format.
