Somerset House Summer Series 2025: Rizzle Kicks, St Vincent and more set for season - tickets and dates

Organisers of the 2025 Somerset House Summer Series have finally revealed their headline acts for this year’s series of performances, taking place overlooking the River Thames.

This year’s event has seen the organisers pull together an ‘extra special’ line-up of acts, set to take place across 11 dates throughout July 2025 - a fitting tribute to Somerset House’s position as one of the UK’s cultural homes.

Kicking off this year’s proceedings will be Rizzle Kicks, the dynamic hip-hop duo known for their infectious energy and genre-blending sound. Bursting onto the scene in the early 2010s, Jordan Stephens and Harley Alexander-Sule made waves with hits like Down with the Trumpets and Mama Do the Hump.

They are set to be joined throughout the season by the incomparable St. Vincent, the multi-talented powerhouse known for her genre-defying sound, razor-sharp guitar work, and mesmerizing stage presence. With a career spanning experimental rock, art-pop, and gritty electronic influences, she brings a bold, unpredictable energy to every performance, ensuring that this season will be anything but ordinary.

Other highlights from this year’s programming include the anthemic indie rock of The Snuts, who have built a reputation for raucous live shows and soaring singalongs, and the hard-hitting lyricism of Giggs, the UK rap icon whose unmistakable flow and streetwise storytelling have cemented his place in British music.

With such an eclectic mix of talent, this season at Somerset House promises to be an unmissable celebration of music and innovation.
