Scenesters, cheapskates, hark! For some reason there are more festivals in London this summer than there are chalky clods of pigeon shit. Which is all good n' all, but ultimately leaves you with either an empty wallet or a sense of having 'missed out' on something. Want a festival without having to tackle these quandaries?
The '1-2-3-4 Shoreditch' festival will debut in east London this Sunday 5th of August, pitching tent FREE four-fold in Shoreditch Park.
