With just over four weeks until this year’s London Popfest, the line-up has almost been finalised.
Taking place across three venues in London, this year’s event boasts appearances from Cambridge based Hong Kong in the 60s, The Orchids from Glasgow and Burning Hearts all the way from Finland.
Ok, I’m not going to lie, when I first heard about London Popfest I wasn’t instantly sold. Staccato electric guitar and vocals lost in reverb all seemed pretty 2005. So I pulled together a Spotify playlist of some of the artists at this year’s festival. Two weeks later I’ve got my ticket, my tambourine and I’m more twee than this guy.
