Today, IMG’s new London based festival Greenwich Summer Sounds has announced the final headliner for the spectacular upcoming summer series of music events. US hip hop sensation Black Eyed Peas will join Nile Rodgers & CHIC, Tom Jones and Kaiser Chiefs to headline the new multi date festival located at the Old Royal Naval College, a stunning riverside location in the heart of Maritime Greenwich on Friday 7 July supported by international saxophone player Ellie Sax. Tickets are available for pre sale on 29 March, and on general sale 30 March. Additionally, support artists have now been announced for two of the remaining festival dates with indie pop trio Scouting For Girls set to perform with Tom Jones on Thursday 6 July, and Scottish indie rockers The View warming up the crowd for the Kaiser Chiefs on Saturday 8 July, with more to be announced. Tickets are available now from https://www.greenwichsummersounds.com/.
 
Alongside the music programme, guests are able to start their wonderful summer evening out by enjoying some delicious street food and drinks alongside the riverside, available from the festival’s wide variety of street food vendors and bars, as well as having the option of a first-class banquet dining experience in the stunning Painted Hall, which is one of the most spectacular Baroque interiors in Europe, available at each concert.
 
The newly announced Black Eyed Peas will be headlining on Friday 7 July. The band released their first worldwide hit Where Is The Love in 2003 and went on to become a bona fide hip hop phenomenon. Having sold over 80 million records they are one of the biggest selling groups of all time. Renowned for their electrifying live show, will.i.am and the rest of the band are sure to give an incredible performance featuring huge singles including I Gotta Feeling, Boom Boom Pow and My Humps.  The band will be supported by international Hedkandi producer and performer and O Beach resident saxophone artist Ellie Sax.
 
Joining the incredible line-up of headliners are English pop rock band Scouting For Girls opening for Tom Jones on Thursday 6 July, who will undoubtedly bring a set packed full of their melodic indie singalong anthems including She’s So Lovely, Elvis Ain’t Dead, and Heartbeat to Greenwich. Dundee indie rock band The View, who are best known for their 2003 single Same Jeans and their high energy performances, will open for Kaiser Chiefs on Saturday 8 July.
 
Greenwich Summer Sounds will seamlessly combine the very best in music, food and culture. Taking place on the grounds of the Old Royal Naval College on the River Thames, in the centre of the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site, Greenwich Summer Sounds is set to become one of the hottest and most revered live events in London’s music and cultural calendar.

Proudly independent, and owned by an experienced team, Portobello are dedicated to brewing beautifully balanced beers with full flavour, endless drinkability and consistency from one glass to the next. We produce a year-round core range of session strength beers, which are augmented by a regularly changing line-up of special seasonal brews using carefully sourced ingredients and brewing techniques. 
 
Portobello was founded by Rob Jenkins & Farooq Khalid in September 2012. Rob is a beer industry veteran who’s worked across the industry in a career spanning 30+ years & Farooq is a brewing and engineering whizz who is just as comfortable designing & building new bits of brew kit as he is devising delicious recipes — they also happen to be brothers-in-law! We have a team of 13 lovely people based out of our brewery in London W10. Working alongside Rob & Farooq there are two full time brewers, a sales team of six, two delivery drivers and the ever-patient Sandra who keeps things ticking over in our office. Our finance director, Darren, works remotely from Wales to avoid the chaos!
 
We’ve won loads of awards for our beers - most recently picking up silver medals at the Global Beer Masters for our Stiff Lip IPA & Market Porter - and are well known across London for our flagship lagers, London Pilsner & Notting Helles, as well as being one of the few independent breweries in the city with a real focus on cask ale. We recently launched a new beer, Polari Pale Ale, in collaboration with Stonewall Housing & are donating money to the charity from every pint or can sold.
