23.06.2025Programme

Critically acclaimed London collective delivers the first big show on Wednesday as they take over Arena just after the inner grounds open.

Kokoroko is one of the most compelling live bands to emerge from London’s vibrant jazz scene, known for their infectious blend of Afrobeat, highlife, soul and funk-driven rhythms. They step in as the replacement for Shaboozey and will open the Arena stage on Wednesday afternoon, shortly after the inner area gates are unlocked.

Expect uplifting horn riffs, danceable grooves and plenty of sunshine in the sound. Kokoroko is known for their tight interplay, rhythmic finesse and a live energy that feels playful, dynamic and deeply catchy.
