Black Deer in the City 2025

A hybrid of the festival and Black Deer Live shows, Black Deer in the City taking place at Tobacco Dock London, 25 & 26 October, will offer two unforgettable days packed with everything you love about Black Deer.

Over sixty artists will perform across seven live music stages, including Black Deer Live, Haley’s Bar and the iconic Roadhouse (curated by London’s Desertscene), bringing the signature blend of the very best of Black Deer Americana music to the Big Smoke.

As well as music, there will be The Dance Hall, with daily dance classes and performances and a retail Emporium, hosting catwalk shows and styling talks curated by renowned hat designer, Vera Black, as well as interviews and competitions with prizes, for the best addressed attendees.

The legendary Live Fire stage will also be in residence, hosting celebrated chefs and pitmasters serving up authentic Southern style eats and drinks, as well as chilli and hot dog eating competitions.

From a SupaJam stage with special guest and student performances alongside story circles, songbook sessions and singalong, to exclusive acts lined up for the VIP Lounge (to be announced soon), there will be plenty of music on offer across the weekend.

Street food and bars, custom motorbikes and trucks as well a tattoo parlour, the first ever Black Deer In The City is set to be a corker.
