DJ Kryptic
After years of making his mark across the Caribbean and North America, Jamaican selector DJ Kryptic is set to return to the UK for City Splash 2025, which is slated for May 26 in London. The festival, one of Europe’s premier celebrations of reggae, dancehall, and Caribbean music, offers a major platform for the culture.
This booking follows ongoing discussions with the City Splash team since last year’s event, marking a pivotal moment in Kryptic’s rising career.
“We’ve been in talks with the City Splash team since last year’s staging, so when they reached out to add me to this year’s lineup, it was an easy yes. Big shoutout to Becca D and G33zy for making the link with the organisers.” Kryptic said enthusiastically. “I haven’t been back to England since I left in 2020, so returning not just as a visitor but as a performer at one of Europe’s biggest reggae festivals is a full-circle moment for me. It’s an honour to represent and bring my sound to a festival that truly celebrates the culture. I’m definitely looking forward to this one!”.
Known for his high-energy sets that fuse Dancehall, UK Rap, and Afrobeats, Kryptic has built a solid reputation on both the Caribbean and international circuits. His past performances include Chug it, I love Soca, DreamWknd and BRT weekend and Carnival Road March in Jamaica, along with recent appearances in Florida and Canada.
With City Splash 2025, Kryptic adds another milestone to his journey, stepping onto a global stage that will feature headliners Popcaan, Spice, Tarrus Riley, Valiant and others.
