Three Sixty Festival
BSL Interpreted & Captioned
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. We are delighted to announce the 10 finalists selected for this year’s event. After an incredibly strong pool of submissions, these poets stood out for their originality, voice and creative excellence.
Please join us in congratulating our finalists:
We look forward to welcoming them to the stage for an unforgettable evening of live poetry performances.
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.
The Final will also be livestreamed via 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.
