Little London Fields Festival


In a bid to distance itself from current associations with shootings and stabbings and regain its throne as the place Hackney folk can gather, in the weeds and scrubland, to spot Kate Moss and feel part of it, London Fields is hosting a mini arts and music festival on August 7th.

Alongside "an eclectic, alternative mix of Contemporary Art and cutting edge fashion", they've got a pretty broad spectrum of music on show. London's Dirty Projectors the excellent Hind Ear will be bringing their tropically-flecked harmonic stylings to the Main stage, IDRchitecture will be offering pop with ambition and odd song titles on the Unplugged stage, while the headline stuff will be coming courtesy of Don't Wait Animate's angular riffs and Mirrors' brooding electronica.

All that and it's FREE. Viccy P is still our park de jour, but Little London Fields is doing its best to change our minds.

Here's something from Hind Ear to warm you up.
