After a brief hiatus in 2013 The Camden Crawl is back to its swaggering, audio-orgy brilliance with over 250 alternative artists playing the Midsummer weekend at 25 of NW1’s finest venues.
The new, free CC14 app is an absolute godsend. The line-up is helpfully presented by time, or by venue – and you can have a quick listen to Soundcloud tracks of the artists to make sure you know what you’re letting yourself in for.
Don’t forget to ease back into Saturday’s festivities with some afternoon comedy – SHAMBLES at the Camden Head and The Alternative Comedy Memorial Society (ACMS) at The Grafton.
Here are a few of the highlights we’re aiming to catch over the weekend, from punk to indie, electro to hip-hop, and even a little folk thrown in.
That said, the beauty of the Camden Crawl is in the discovery of new favourites, so allow yourself to be swept along in the crowd. Oh, and did we mention the weather forecast is looking lush?!
