We can’t help but bless every new festival enriching the London summer event calendar even more, when those festivals feature a far-out line-up like Naked City. The event, organised and promoted by the Krankbrother family, fully embodies the spirit and taste of its architects; urban, jazzy and funky, and welcoming the world in all its forms and suffixes, whether they are nu or post, Afro or Latin, alt or pop.

 

The grand backdrop of Beckenham Palace will be the setting of an eclectic all-dayer (midday to 10.30pm), hosting local and international, well-established and up-and-coming acts, from Neneh Cherry to Blue Lab Beat, Ezra Collective to Amp Fiddler, Onra to Afriquoi.

We have put them all together in a playlist, because sounds often work better than words.
