The Southbank Centre today announces the first names for South Asian Sounds 2025. Following the success of its inaugural edition in 2024, South Asian Sounds returns as a celebration of the rich, varied musical traditions of the wider Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi diaspora as well as ambitious UK-based artists and collectives working at the intersection of cultures and genres.
Running from Thursday 15 – Sunday 18 May across the Royal Festival Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall and Purcell Room, the series is presented in partnership with Asian Arts Agency, Baluji Music Foundation, Ragatip and Readipop. South Asian Sounds is part of the Southbank Centre’s ongoing mission to reflect and support the breadth of creative communities represented in London and across the UK.
