Havering Council announces free all-day music festival
Havering Council is organising a free all-day music event for young people to showcase local musical talent.
The event, called Hornchurch Live, will be on Saturday 27 August – the day before the Havering Show.
The event will be aimed at music fans in their teens and early twenties and will be alcohol-free. It is hoped the event will attract between 5,000 to 10,000 fans.
There will be three stages featuring up-and-coming guitar bands largely from Havering and the Dagenham area. Bands will be playing music covering the whole rock spectrum – metal, goth, grunge indie and pop-punk.
Already booked are fun-loving pop-punk band Summerlin, tribute band Kins of Leon and Upminster band Stereo Decade. Other bands include The Dead Kings, Disrupt The Skies, Tomorrow belongs To Us, The Hype Theory, Dead Baby Birds, Dakota Skyline and much more. As well as the music, there will be a funfair, traders and refreshments.
Council surveys have shown that residents want the local authority to help arrange more fun activities for teenagers.
Councillor Michael White, Leader of Havering Council, said:
"We want to provide a fun event for young people featuring local bands. We know from surveys that our residents want us to provide more for young people to do and Hornchurch Live will be a great chance to see local and up and coming music talent for free. It will be a really fun day in an alcohol-free environment over the bank holiday weekend."
Hornchurch Live will run from midday to 10pm. More headlining acts will be announced in the coming weeks.
