The music and the people behind it

This is a chance to hear emerging London artists in an informal foyer setting.

South London artist 0RACL3 brings a live band, drawing on UK rap and soul. J2 approaches grime through jazz-influenced sounds and live instrumentation.

DOTWAVNOTWAVE began in 2021 and supports artists through events, radio and label releases. The pairing suits listeners who want to discover new music rather than a greatest-hits arena show.

The official listing does not specify a set order or individual set times.

Make the evening work

The published start is 21:30 and the approximate running time is one hour.

Treat that duration as guidance, not a guaranteed exit time. No ticket is required, so use the official page for the latest entry information instead of searching for a paid booking.

All ages are welcome, with under-12s accompanied by an adult; a late start may still be inconvenient for younger children. Arrive with time to locate the foyer and check the return journey before settling in.

Getting there, access and nearby options

The Southbank Centre gives its address as Belvedere Road, London SE1 8XX.

Waterloo and Embankment are the nearest Tube stations, and Waterloo is the nearest rail station. Use TfL from your own starting point and check live services for the return.

The venue publishes step-free routes, access maps and Blue Badge parking information; consult these for your specific requirements. Its spaces, toilets and help points are described as accessible, but contact the venue if you need an individual arrangement.

For food, check the official Southbank restaurants and bars before the event: the centre is cash-free. An earlier riverside walk is a flexible nearby addition in suitable weather; do not assume galleries remain open until the gig.
