Wiley, Chip and Roll Deep are reuniting to celebrate SBTV

SBTV 20 lands at The O2 on 11 November 2026, with Wiley, Chip, Lady Leshurr, Big Narstie, Professor Green, Roll Deep and more on the bill.

Twenty years ago, a fifteen-year-old from Acton called Jamal Edwards got a camcorder for Christmas and started filming his mates rapping. By the time he died in 2022, aged 31, the platform he’d built on that footage had given Ed Sheeran, Stormzy, Dave, Jessie J and an entire generation of British artists their first real audience. On 11 November 2026, that story comes back to The O2, with the artists who were there at the beginning, in aid of the charity his family built in his name.

SBTV 20 is a one-night celebration of the platform’s 20th anniversary, organised with Ernest Promotions and in association with the Jamal Edwards Self Belief Trust. The first phase of the lineup has just been announced, and it reads like a roll call of the artists who built British urban music before British urban music was a category anyone talked about.

The lineup

The first phase alone: Wiley, Chip, Lady Leshurr, Big Narstie, Dappy, Tinchy Stryder, Nolay, Scorcher, Roll Deep, Professor Green, DJ Target, Griminal, Kyla, Kenny Allstar, WSTRN and Yungen. No headliners have been confirmed yet, and more acts are to come. The “surprises we just can’t talk about yet” line from Ernest Promotions is the kind of thing that lands differently when you consider who might be out there.

The framing is deliberate and right: founding-era grime OGs alongside artists who broke through SBTV, alongside a new generation who never met Jamal but exist in the music industry because of what he built. That’s three generations of British music on one stage.

Why this matters

SBTV didn’t just host videos. It was the infrastructure that allowed British artists to reach audiences before streaming, before playlists, before any of the mechanisms that now exist to do that work. Jamal Edwards built it out of genuine enthusiasm for the music and the culture, before the business case was obvious to anyone else. The artists performing in November were, in most cases, directly shaped by what he did.

The proceeds from the event support the Jamal Edwards Self Belief Trust, which continues the work he cared about most.

The London x London Take: This is not a nostalgia tour. It’s a proper reckoning with twenty years of British music and the person most responsible for making it visible, in the venue his platform helped fill, with the artists his camera helped make. Book the presale. This will sell out.
