Chloe rebelle5/18/2023 ![]() That year’s event seriously went off – which is why they extended the festival to three days last year. □ Why GALA: Returning to Peckham across the latter May Bank Holiday weekend, GALA are continuing to build on their sell-out events, 2021’s of which was one of the first festivals back post-lockdown.

Crazy P, Dimitri From Paris and the House Gospel Choir are already confirmed. Last year was more of a night out vibe in the lively Prince of Wales, and it went so successfully that they’re expanding for the 2023 festival season. As the name suggests, this one is all about the Disco, and it all takes place in venues surrounding the famous Windrush Square. □ Why Brixton Disco Festival: If you’re looking for a London festival that will make you dance, then this is the one for you. You’ve also got Stormzy’s #MERKY Books Literature Festival and talks from playwright Theresa Ikoko and poet Sophia Thakur among many others. □ What we can expect in 2023: This year music comes in the form of Dave Okumu & The Seven Degrees, Guy Garvey’s Finest Hour, Sona Jobarteh, Laura Veirs, Leroy Hutson, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Yazmin Lacey and the UK’s first professional trans+ choir, Trans Vocalists. ✨ 2022’s highlights: January 2022 saw esteemed acts like Goat Girl, Hak Baker, Emeli Sandé, Bina, The Kingdom Choir, Ballaké Sissoko and Vincent Ségal play. Sure there’s that (and some bloody great acts on the bill too), but they’ve also got authors, songwriters, poets, playwrights, directors, screenwriters, illustrators, editors and podcasters here. Secondly, this is about so much more than just the music. □ Why In The Round: Firstly the venue is out of our favourites.

Glastonbury recently announced their headlining acts for 2023, and all the London festivals this year look to be well and truly stacked full of musical gems. Photo: year saw the festivals return completely back to normal after a very trying couple of years, and this year looks to be no different.
