London Lineup is an all-day showcase for jazz ensembles, youth arts organisations and music charities from across the capital, performing at the Clore Ballroom, Southbank Centre, on Sunday 16th November 2025. The deadline for applications is 11th July.

This year we are including an artistic brief that organisations will be asked to respond to:

We want London Lineup to celebrate London’s different musical, cultural and geographic communities. We invite groups to consider how their work can celebrate specific and/or unique elements of their community or area, be that a person or people, a geographic feature, a cultural/historical event or anything else that deserves a spotlight. We want you to tell the stories of what makes your community special.

We will also prioritise organisations that can:

- Present new work or adapt existing work to meet the brief and/or
- Form new collaborations with artists or other organisations
- Include a multi-disciplinary approach including any artform of your choice

Each selected group will have a 30-45 minute set with a festival-style line check. We welcome applications from organisations working in jazz and associated genres, with a focus on creativity, musicianship and live instrumentation. Musicians can be up to 25 years-old and organisations agree to manage any necessary licenses for performers.

Eligible organisations:

Any youth arts organisation, charity, youth ensemble or collective working with non-professional young musicians. London Lineup is not open to individual artists/bands to apply.

Must be based in London or the immediate surrounding area
