Naked City is a brand new music festival for London; a celebration of how London makes us feel.
Promoted and produced by the team behind KRANKBROTHER, the festival will showcase their signature pristine production and sensitive musical curation in a bold new output.
With a wide roster of talent, bending and blending genres such as jazz, house, afro, dub and disco, the festival draws on the city’s central nervous system of musical influences to create a day-long party with a truly London soul.
Deliberately looking away from the usual headliners dominating the festival scene, the line-up focuses on home-grown talent, with a particular emphasis on acts that cut their teeth in the boiling South London musical scene.
In keeping with their reputation for pioneering new party venues across the city, the team has found a bright new bold site in Beckenham Place Park, a recently converted golf course in the heart of South London. A rich mix of undulating lawns, protected ancient woodland and a beautiful lake make this a scintillating new vantage point from which to experience your city.
There are 8 million stories in this city. Let’s celebrate their sound.
