Roundhouse Three Sixty announces latest additions to 2025 line-up

10 February 2025

Roundhouse Three Sixty is thrilled to announce the latest wave of programming for the first edition of the bold and visionary new festival that will see London come alive with music and culture from every angle this April.

BAFTA-nominated comedian Munya Chawawa is set to present his first ever ‘& Friends’ show featuring a handpicked line-up of comedians, musicians and entertainers. Building on the festival’s commitment to championing young and emerging artists, Roundhouse Associate Artistic Director Daniel Kaluuya’s Centre 59 youth theatre company have announced their debut production Sonder(s). It has also been revealed that London’s trailblazing ballroom collective Vogue Rites will host a Face The Music Ball, and television and radio presenter Vick Hope is co-hosting the highly anticipated 20th Anniversary Roundhouse Poetry Slam.

BAFTA-nominated comedian, satirist, and actor Munya Chawawa will bring his first-ever ‘& Friends’ show to Roundhouse Three Sixty on Friday 18 April, promising a night of sharp humour, music, and surprise guests. Known for his whip-smart social commentary and pitch-perfect parodies, Munya has carved out a space as one of the UK’s most exciting comedic voices, blending satire with music and pop culture in a way that resonates widely. From his viral sketches skewering politicians and celebrities to his much-loved alter egos—including the posh drill rapper Unknown P—Munya’s ability to tap into the cultural conversation has earned him a loyal following, while his effervescent broadcast work like his ‘How To Survive A Dictator’ series on Channel 4 and ‘Race Around Britain’ on YouTube Originals have garnered vast critical acclaim. This special event will see him handpick an Avengers Assemble of his favourite people for a unique, high-energy showcase at the Roundhouse. Full lineup to be announced soon.

Munya Chawawa said: “I’m pumped to be part of Roundhouse Three Sixty – and more important to make some of my favourites, your favourites. Picasso said: ‘art washes away the dust of everyday life’ and I say ‘facts, my guy’ – can’t wait to see everyone in April.”

London’s pioneering ballroom collective Vogue Rites will take over the Roundhouse for an unmissable celebration of ball culture and community. On Wednesday 9 April, London’s grassroots Ballroom collective will take over the iconic venue for Face The Music Ball—a unique celebration of ball culture, community, and the music that moves us. Paying tribute to inspirational artists, anthems that define generations, and unforgettable moments that have shaped ballroom history, this is a night where sound becomes movement and music becomes memory. Attendees can expect an electrifying night where fashion, dance and self-expression collide in the most powerful way possible in London’s most iconic music venue.

Also announced today in celebration of its 20th year, is BBC Radio 1’s Vick Hope co-hosting the Roundhouse Poetry Slam alongside poet and playwright Toby Campion on Thursday 17 April. This flagship event, in partnership with Taylor Wessing, the global law firm, is the biggest spoken word competition for 18-25 year olds in the UK that has launched the careers of many notable writers and artists. A decade on from his own Slam victory, Caleb Femi is announced as the first guest judge on the panel, with more judges to follow.

Sonder(s) marks the start of Daniel Kaluuya and Roundhouse’s new young theatre company, Centre 59 – an accessible space and entry point for young people to the artform of storytelling in theatre and the performing arts. Core to Centre 59 is the mission to build young artists who learn to share their own stories through a programme of writing, acting, directing and producing. Sonder(s) is a piece devised entirely by its members, and is a celebration of the voices of emerging young talent, performed exclusively at Roundhouse Three Sixty Wednesday 9 April – Saturday 12 April.

The programme continues to expand with a powerful film screening ‘New Visions’, curated from the Roundhouse Film Fund’s vast archive, celebrating love in its many forms—romantic, communal, and love of self—as a radical act. This screening, inspired by bell hooks’ celebrated work All About Love: New Visions, will be followed by a conversation with artist and filmmaker Myah Asha Jeffers. The programme will also feature her acclaimed short film There Is No Healing in Silence, inspired by hooks’ Belonging: A Culture of Place. Supported by Wiggin, the Roundhouse Film Fund is a commissioning, production and distribution programme designed to accelerate the careers of emerging filmmakers aged 18-25. The screening is set to take place on Sunday 27 April.

Caleb Femi will also return to the Roundhouse to curate an immersive 100-minute poetry event exploring time, inheritance, survival, and the unknown on Saturday 5 April. The poet, filmmaker, and former Young People’s Laureate for London first made his mark at the Roundhouse Poetry Slam a decade ago, and has since become an acclaimed writer, director, and photographer, celebrated for his debut collection Poor, which won the Forward Prize and was added to the AQA GCSE syllabus. Now, drawing on his rich creative collaborations and commitment to elevating young voices, Caleb returns with Longpoem, a response to the themes of Longplayer, a 1,000-year-long musical composition.

Further exciting updates to the previously announced programme have also been revealed today. Radio 6 DJ Sherelle is delighted to present the all-female, multi-genre rave collective Sexy Lady Massive as part of the SHERELLELAND line-up on Friday 11 April.

Sofia Millbank, Co-Founder of Sexy Lady Massive says: “Having interned at Roundhouse, it feels incredibly full circle to be returning in a completely different capacity. SHERELLELAND embodies everything events should be—community-driven, forward-thinking and actually accessible. Being part of a show that uplifts the culture and the people who keep it alive is really special and I couldn’t be more excited.”

Additionally, the full line-up for Love to Love You Baby: Donna Summer Reimagined has been confirmed, featuring ESKA, Mica Paris, MNEK, Katy B, Kele Le Roc, Le Gateau Chocolat, Tom Rasmussen, Kelli-Leigh, Roses Gabor, TeniTinks, Stush, Marla Kether, and NIA. The cast of Channel 4’s Big Boys will join series writer and creator Jack Rooke for a DJ set at Jack Rooke’s SHOW HOLE. Flȃneuse will join Tom Odell, Chisara Agor, Geo Aghinea, Kai Bosch, and Saachi Sen as the final guest artist for the Roundhouse Song Circle on Monday 21 April.

A groundbreaking new festival of music and culture, Roundhouse Three Sixty champions both world-renowned performers and the next generation of creative talent. It focuses on accessibility, opportunities for young artists, with thousands of affordable tickets that further the Roundhouse’s mission to inspire creativity and connect communities through the arts. From major headliners to grassroots artistry, club nights, film screenings, poetry, and visual arts, it promises to be a standout highlight on the UK arts calendar across April —and a vital event for the local London community.
