Taking place in the heart of Shoreditch, the independent London music festival, showcases up and coming acts alongside more established cult talent and since 2007 has continued in the tradition of catching bands on the tipping point and putting them on stage, with an emphasis on raw creative talent and fresh energy, as opposed to the usual suspects doing the summer rounds.

Sean McLusky, Founder and Director said of the line-up, "We are not interested in booking agents and record label schedules, we are interested in the sheer audacity and bluster of the Rock n' Roll Beast."

Tickets are priced at £22.50 and include entrance to all day festival and the after parties. To buy tickets, click here.
