For this month’s print edition, we’ve chosen to celebrate the world-class festival taking place next weekend (20-21st) right on our doorstep – CC14, otherwise known as Camden Crawl.
We’ve spoken to some of the biggest headline artists and hottest rising stars, dug out amazing facts and figures about the event, and compiled a list of the area’s essential streetfood to gorge on between gigs.
With the event also taking over K-Town’s Prince of Wales Road this year, including an outdoor stage at Camden Town Brewery Bar, comedy fringe events at The Grafton and acoustic sets at The Abbey, there’s going to be something for every fun-loving Kentishtowner to get stuck into. (There’s also a last chance for readers to get a whopping 50% off CC14 tickets too, using the cheeky code printed on page 5.)
But it’s not all Crawl. Elsewhere in the issue we visit Tufnell Park tapas bar Del Parc, battle with the yummy mummies for space at Upper Holloway’s all-day hangout The Spoke, and take a musical tour of north London via song lyrics. There’s also our usual Top 10 hottest (non-Crawl) things to do this month, and a profile of a very worthwhile art show hitting Camden and Kentish Town.
You’ll also find extra copies at all 25 main CC14 event venues, plus this usual list of bars, shops and pubs across NW1 and NW5:
