Brixton’s brand new funk, soul and jazz festival will come to Brockwell Park on 9 June.
Cross the Tracks has announced the music programme for its inaugural edition this summer. The one-day festival will be headlined by 70s trailblazer Chaka Khan, with other confirmed acts including Motown’s Martha Reeves and the Vandellas.
