About Boroughs United 2026

The future of London, live on stage.

Young London’s loudest, liveliest talent takeover is back this February half-term — and it’s about to shut the city DOWN.

Over 1,000 young people, families and friends from every corner of the capital will unite for London’s No.1 urban youth showcase — a full-on celebration of talent, culture and community.

Expect every act to bring their Triple-A game to the iconic Boroughs United stage: powerful singers, shelling rappers and show-stopping dance crews, ages 6–21, following in the footsteps of legends like Jermain Jackman, Little Simz, Not3s, Leona Lewis, Diversity, Flawless, Ebonessence and Twist & Pulse.

This year marks 26 years of Boroughs United — a quarter-century of unity, creativity and spreading the message of peace across London’s communities.

One stage. One city. One message: Unite as one.

Presented by The Crib Youth Team.

“Dance brings everyone together. This is a safe space for everyone to do what we want to do, dance keeps me happy”

“What the Crib do is amazing … The young people look forward to it every year. It boosts their confidence and gives them something to aim for”
