There’ll be no sleeping at the Wide Awake Festival
The Wide Awake Festival returns to Brockwell Park in the summer.
Taking place on May 27, the Saturday of the late May Bank Holiday, the festival has released another eclectic collection of artists on the bill.
Wide Awake said it prides itself on a dynamic celebration of counter-culture featuring left-field indie, post-punk, electronica, techno and everything in-between.
The independent festival confirmed Alex G, Viagra Boys, Black Country, New Road, Two Shell, Tirzah, Los Bitchos, Civic, Wasted Youth, Clamm, O., Nice Biscuit, Jjuuujjuu and Warmduscher are to join the bill.
Already featuring on the bill is headliner and global sensation Caroline Polachek, who’s forthcoming album is due to be released on February 14.
Shygirl, the introspective yet compelling Daniel Avery, dance floor connoisseur Joy Orbison and the visionary Jockstrap duo and many more make this an unmissable event in the UK Festival calender.
Political and social activists Hate Zine will be there with a focus on people of colour, LGBTQ+ issues, political and environmental publications alongside a programme of workshops and panel discussions on a range of topics from renters unions, climate activism, immigration and support for women in music.
