Dance music pioneers Faithless will lead an eclectic lineup at this summer’s Kaleidoscope Festival, marking 20 years since their legendary Alexandra Palace concert. The one-day event, set for July 12th at London’s historic ‘People’s Palace’, promises to blend dance, indie, and comedy across multiple stages.

Drum and bass pioneer Goldie joins the bill with a full live band performance celebrating the 30th anniversary of his groundbreaking album ‘Timeless’. The festival will also feature BBC Radio 2’s Sara Cox presenting her interactive ‘Power Wower’ set, alongside performances from 90s indie stalwarts Sleeper.

DJ sets from dance music heavyweight Eats Everything and garage legend DJ Spoony will feature on the Cloud 10 stage, while comedians Shappi Khorsandi and Andrew Maxwell head up the festival’s expanded Fringe programme.

“This year’s event is set to be unforgettable,” says Kaleidoscope Director Simon Fell. “With a diverse programme that includes comedy, exploring the Victorian Basements and our beautiful festival site offering incredible panoramic views of London, Kaleidoscope is truly unique.”

The festival forms part of Alexandra Palace’s ambitious summer season, which includes performances from The Black Keys, Kaiser Chiefs, and The Teskey Brothers. The venue’s indoor programming for 2025 has already confirmed appearances from Iggy Pop, Justice, and Frank Turner.

Now in its fifth year, Kaleidoscope continues the venue’s 150-year tradition of providing entertainment for Londoners, with the addition of a dedicated family area featuring pop-up arts, circus, and theatre performances.

The festival takes advantage of Alexandra Palace’s unique position overlooking the capital, offering festival-goers unparalleled views of the London skyline alongside a packed day of entertainment.
