4-6 May - Camden
The now legendary Amy Winehouse, Kasabian
and Florence & The Machine were all picked up in their formative years at
this, the Camden Crawl. Launched at the height of the Britpop period in the
mid-nineties, this multi-event music festival continues to attract industry
bigwigs and young screaming fans all looking to catch the next big thing. That
said, there are always a few surprise shows from now-seminal artistes. And the
sprawling carnival-style arts side features everything from comedy and spoken
word to film, quizzes, busking, acoustic performances, workshops, exhibitions
and more. The three-day programme opens at Koko before working its way through
the streets of London’s most nocturnal corner. More than 50 venues and 250 acts
were involved in last year’s performance, with one wristband giving access to all. Book
a key hotel and nip in and out as you please.
