Festival Republic, Louder plan new London festival
Festival Republic and Louder have announced a new festival, slated to take place in London during the August bank holiday.
The inaugural edition of Electricity City will take place on Clapham Common, in southwest London, on Sunday 28 August.
Chase & Status, Headie One, Hybrid Minds and JME Presents are among the acts set to play the one-day event.
The festival has also secured a number of exclusive sets including Sub Focus B2B Wilkinson (UK festival exclusive), Skream UKG set (London festival exclusive) and Chase & Status (London exclusive).
Last year, Festival Republic launched three new one-day festivals on the August bank holiday at Clapham Common
Last year, Live Nation-backed Festival Republic and Louder launched three new one-day festivals on the August bank holiday at Clapham Common – Yam Carnival, Return II Dance and ALT + LDN. Lambeth Council, which presides over the Common, reportedly accumulated £300,000 from the festivals.
This year, Yam Carnival will return to its Saturday slot for a second edition, while Electric City will replace Return II Dance. ALT + LDN is billed to return in 2022 though no further details have been announced.
Festival Republic’s stable of festivals also includes Reading, Leeds, Latitude, Wireless, Wilderness and Download – all of which took place last year, in the UK.
