Wide Awake Festival, the counter cultural celebration set in Brockwell Park, has established itself as one of London’s most distinctive and well-curated festivals in recent years. Today they add a host of exciting new acts to their 2024 lineup, welcoming some of the best up-and-coming and established leftfield talent around.
Lighting up Brockwell on Saturday 25th May, the new lineup announcements include legendary shoegaze titans Slowdive, Berlin electronic duo Modeselektor, Iranian-Dutch artist Sevdaliza, New York singer-songwriter INIKO, Seattle based quartet La Luz, NTS favourite and South East London legend OK Williams, spellbinding Brighton avant-folk quartet The New Eves, Australian industrial rockers HTRK, and New York noise-rock band Model/Actriz.
They join headliners King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard and Mercury Prize winners Young Fathers, as well as recently added UK post-punk favourites Squid, beloved DJs Ben UFO and Helena Hauff, electronic pop legend Alice Glass, Australian rockers C.O.F.F.I.N, Babe Rainbow, The Dare, Decius, Etran De L’air, Crumb, Eartheater, Upchuck, and YHWH Nailgun to name a few.
Acclaimed experimental DJ and composer David Holmes is also set to make a welcome appearance – and with US radio station KEXP hosting the main stage, Wide Awake 2024 is shaping up to be the most unmissable event in the festival calendar.
Wide Awake is an independent festival for music fans looking to discover something different. It aims to showcase some of the best up-and-coming talent around; expect leftfield Indie, Post Punk, Electronica, Techno and more across a line-up you won’t find anywhere in London.
The festival prides itself with line-ups that have an equal gender split and 2023 saw it work further on a sustainable ‘Positive Policy’, which was set up to change the way live music events affect the planet.
With social, cultural and environmental awareness being key to the very make up of Wide Awake, the festival itself is a party for those that want not only the best live acts but also want to encourage change.
With its renowned programme of leftfield indie, post punk, electronica and techno, Wide Awake 2023 set the bar high with a stellar lineup including Caroline Polachek, Shygirl, Daniel Avery (Live), Coucou Chloe, Blondeshell, Enumclaw, Jockstrap, Joy Orbison, Molchat Doma, Oneohtrix Point Never, Optimo (Espacio), The Bug Club, The Underground Youth, VTSS, Osees, Gilla Band and more.
It’s a tough act to follow, but with this latest batch of lineup coups under its belt, Wide Awake 2024 is shaping up to be another phenomenal year for one of London’s finest festivals. Wide Awake is brought to you by Bad Vibrations, LNZRT and the crew behind MOTH Club and The Shacklewell Arms.
