East London News A Force for the community…
If you’ve been going round London’s festivals over the last couple of years, you might have noticed an Unsigned London stage tucked away in a corner. Now Unsigned has come of age and is striking out on her own – with a brand new, stand-alone, two-day event in Shoreditch Park at the start of July.
Unsigned London is about all things live, unknown and unsigned – yet full of potential, and the new event aims to showcase the best of London’s emerging live music talent. Over 150 of the city’s brightest talents in indie, rock, jazz, folk, R&B, reggae, classical and electronic music will strut their stuff on one of the four stages.
Their performances will be accompanied by a selection of specially produced music programmes curated by some of the top names in the business. Prolific venue Glasswerk will work alongside promoters and artists such as Urban Development, Dead or Alive, Hotvox, Slug Couture, Chaos Theory, Secret Society, Unite PR, All Night Long, Plug In To Perform, Lyrically Challenged, Folk Law and Before the Gold Rush to elevate their chosen acts, resulting in the most authentic live music experience of the year. YouTube music channels Garage Door and Get Lifted TV are also on board to add another dimension.
Along with the extensive music line-up, the event will feature TogetherTheyCome fashion market programmers packed full of edgy and creative new designer brands, alongside some of London’s finest food traders, creating a buzzing bazaar-like experience. A record fair will also be central to the festival, selling a mix of musical genres by the coolest national and international dealers of quality vinyl, CDs and music memorabilia. To top it all off, a funfair will be onsite keeping all the family entertained.
London has long been a mecca for music fans of all kinds, yet in recent years a combination of venue closures and extortionately priced gigs and festivals have made it all too difficult to stumble into a free gig and discover an amazing new band. Inspired by these challenges, Unsigned London aims to revitalise London’s undiscovered music scene for an exciting weekend of eclectic performances. Join us: you could be among the first music lovers to hear the Next Big Thing – before they were famous!
