Description

 

Underage Festival,  the  world’s  first  and  only  strictly  13–18s  festival,  is  returning  to  London  for  a sixth year this August and is pleased to confirm more exciting names to the bill.

Joining already confirmed acts such as Zulu Winter, Jessie Ware, Savages and Rustie will be Devlin, the Dagenham-born, sharp-tongued rapper and MC, who will be closing the festival on  Friday 31st August at Shoreditch Park. Having broken through the forefront of the Urban British scene with his innovative lyrics and  talent  for  delivering  complex  bars  delivered  at  breakneck  speed,  Devlin  returns  this  summer with  a  new  album  following  his  hugely  successful  debut  Bud,  Sweat  and  Beers,  and  promises  to 
deliver a truly memorable closing set.

Also  confirmed  for  2012  is  fellow  MC  and  veteran  of  the  UK  grime  scene,  Skepta,  Oxford  quintet, Foals (DJ Set), whose Tapes mixtape out now on K7! Records has been achieving critical acclaim, and Misha B. Originally gaining the public’s attention as an X Factor finalist, Misha B has since graduated to a fully fledged singer/songwriter as proved by the impressive list of artists she is working with on her debut album including MNEK, Professor Green and Wretch 32.

Tom Baker  of  Eat Your Own Ears  says:  "It’s incredible how quickly five years has gone. The firstUnderage Festival was an amazing event; the atmosphere and energy of the audience, everyone was buzzing from the bands and singing along to all the lyrics. The line up this year is really shaping up and I think will be more focused than ever as there are less stages, but no less thrilling than in previous years. It’s also exciting to be on a new site in Shoreditch Park"

Underage Festival emerged in 2007 to provide a unique and safe enviroment for young people to enjoy live music and get a taste of the festival experience. Holdong the title of 'Worlds First Festival for  Under  18s’,  Underage  still  leads  the  way  for  teenage  events,  with  its  unrivalled  credible  and innovative line ups. Previous highlights include Dizzee Rascal, Tinie Tempah, Bombay Bicycle Club, M.I.A, The Maccabees, Foals and many more.

Underage is also pleased to announce this year’s media partners are Last FM, I Paper, Live Magazine 
and BBC Radio 1Xtra.

"Live Magazine – created by teens and young adults and supported by some of the UK's foremost media and brands – are really excited about their first year as media partner for Underage. After a decade discovering and celebrating emerging inner city talent; from next gen music artists to designers and journalists, it feels right to cement Live's significant growth over the last few years by partnering with every discerning teenagers' ultimate music festival. Plus it’s a great way to celebrate
Live's 11th birthday!" - Robbie (17), Music Editor, Live Magazine

“Underage’s eclectic line-up upends the notion that 13-18 year olds listen solely to Justin Bieber-esque drivel” The Fly

“Glorious sunshine, great music and free sweets make this the perfect teen-friendly festival” NME

“It remains an accomplished opening to the world of festivals for the next generation” Virtual Festivals

Description

The website says:

The area now covered by Shoreditch Park was terraced housing until the area suffered catastrophic bomb damage during World War II. Temporary 'pre-fab' housing was erected on the site but was cleared betweem 1964 and 1973, creating the park.

The park was awarded a Green Flag award in 2011. The Green Flag Award Scheme recognises and rewards the best green spaces in the country. Hackney currently has thirteen Green Flags - one of the highest totals in London.

The park has recently undergone a facelift, and boasts smart new lighting, seating, pathways and sporting facilities.
