Festival News: Wide Awake - Another wave of talent joins the bill for London’s most distinctive day festival

Wide Awake Festival, the counter cultural celebration set in Brockwell Park, has established itself as one of London’s most forward-thinking and well-curated festivals in recent years. Today they announce a new batch of exciting additions to their 2024 lineup, including some of the best up-and-coming and established leftfield talent around, as well as a host of politically-informed panels and workshops.

The lineup for Brockwell on Saturday 25th May continues to become ever more eclectic, with new announcements including electrifying South Londoners Fat Dog, who have caused a stir across the city with their chaotic live shows, and queer avant gardist Lynks, described as a “horror-drag pop star” by The Guardian.

Also new to the bill are New Orleans DIY heroes Special Interest, Texas-based multi-instrumentalists Being Dead, and experimental psych quartet Plantoid.
