OnBlackheath Music Festival

In 2014 the very first Blackheath Music Festival was staged. Since then OnBlackheath has gone from strength to strength, with 2016 hosting major artists such as Roisin Murphy, Hot Chip, Primal Scream, Squeeze, James and Belle & Sabastian.

In addition to the main stage were two further stages with a raft of bands performing live, plus DJs including DJ Antz, Jazzie B (from Soul II Soul) and Neneh Cherry, a children’s area entertaining the kids with storytelling from Puffin World of Stories, classic sport’s day games games such as the three legged race, the egg and spoon race, the sack race and tug of war, a talking maze and the chance to meet some of your favourite characters, including Peter Rabbit and The Clangers. And if that wasn’t enough there were cookery demonstrations on the Chef’s Stage from top chefs and celebrity guests plus cookery lessons by the John Lewis Cookery School.

We sent one of our photographers over to Blackheath on the second day of this two day festival to snap some of the artists on stage.
