Brick Lane Music Festival 2012

The Isle of Wight drew the British festival season to a sunny close last weekend with Bestival, but for those missing the music (but not the sleeping in a tent), look no further than Brick Lane.

This weekend the east London hotspot hosts the free Brick Lane Music Festival 2012, with DJs and live music at three of its most popular venues: the Big Chill Bar, Vibe Bar and Café 1001.

Music runs throughout the weekend with things getting underway from 2pm on Saturday. Expect DJs, beatboxers and swing dancers at Café 1001, live music from Mexican DJs and mariachi bands plus a dance show from Folkloris at Vibe Bar. Last but not least, Kiss FM and Roots Manuva’s DJ MK will be at the Big Chill Bar.

The Truman Brewery will be hosting the official afterparty on Saturday, with US dreamy popstars Twin Sister keeping the party going until 6am.

The whole weekend is free, but you do need a wristband which gives you entry to all venues, which can be picked up from any of the venues in advance or on a first come, first served basis on Saturday. There is a small suggested donation to the NSPCC - a good cause and a small price for one more weekend of partying.

Brick Lane Music Festival 2012 at Café 1001, Vibe Bar and The Big Chill Bar, September 15 & 16, FREE. For more information CLICK HERE.
