Boasting a terrific line up of music, food, and activities for all ages, South London's OnBlackheath Festival has become a family favourite since launching in 2014, where it was nominated at the UK Festival Awards for Best New Festival. 

This year the John Lewis partnered festival is back with perhaps its most impressive line up yet. Scottish alt-rockers Primal Scream headline the opening day's play on Saturday 10th September, backed up by pop dance troupe Hot Chip, ex-Moloko member Roisin Murphy, the poetic majesty of Lonelady and the hypnotic pop of Rosie Lowe.

Glaswegian indie pop legends Belle & Sebastian headline the Sunday, with James, Squeeze and SOAK rounding off the acts. Read the full OnBlackHeath line up here.

Alongside the music, the John Lewis food village is another of the festival's highlights, with an array of dining experiences, demonstrations, celebrity chefs, pop up stalls and street food to delight the senses. And for the first time ever, Puffin Books will host the family area, bringing well loved children's books to life through a series of stage performances, crafts, games and outdoor adventures.
