London 2012 Olympics music festival in Hackney

It's been announced that BBC radio 1 will be holding their free music festival in Hackney, east London, running up to the 2012 Olympics.

Though tickets have not gone on sale yet, it will be held on the 23rd and 24th June 2012 at Hackeny Marshes. Starting off the line up, Hackney's own Leona Lewis has been confirmed to perform, and Plan B who also grew up in east London.


The 2012 Olympics has brought so may people together and is a great opportunity to bring people together with music. East London will be the hottest part of London come 2012, it's only right that they hold they event there. It won't just be a music festival, it's a cultural celebration. It's also an opportunity to display the new young talent that London has. We are creative Britian after all. It's going to be a busy summer next year for sure. This is only one of the music events confirmed, expect many more to be confirmed soon.

This year's big weekend was held in Carlisle where Lady Gaga and the Foo Fighters performed.
