Three Sixty Festival
Roundhouse Poetry Slam Final
In partnership with Taylor Wessing
The prestigious Roundhouse Poetry Slam Final returns for Three Sixty Festival in 2026 – with the best emerging spoken word artists competing for the coveted title of Roundhouse Slam Champion.
As the UK’s biggest spoken word competition for 18–25 year-olds, the Slam brings together the most exciting new voices from across the country for one unforgettable night. The finalists – drawn from seven national heats (to be announced soon) – each bring their original work to the stage as they go head-to-head.
An esteemed panel of judges will decide who takes home the title of Roundhouse Slam Champion, and you can be in the audience to experience it too.
Can’t make it in person? No problem. The Final will also be livestreamed on YouTube, allowing audiences to watch the performances as they happen, take part in the online audience vote, and witness the winner being crowned — all from the comfort of your own home.
The Roundhouse has a trailblazing five-year partnership with international law firm Taylor Wessing, principal partner of the Poetry Slam. A long-standing supporter of the arts, Taylor Wessing continues to play a vital role in championing emerging spoken word talent.
