Saturday's headliner will be BRIT and Mercury winning Elbow, a band that, over six studio
albums, have established themselves as one of the most important acts the UK
has ever produced. With their current album 'The Take Off and Landing of
Everything' entering the UK charts at Number One and a well deserved reputation
for incredible live performances this headline set is sure to be unforgettable.
Madness will be hitting the main stage on Sunday for their only London date
this year. In the last 5 years the band have released two of their most
critically acclaimed albums ‘The Liberty of Norton Folgate’ and ‘Oui Oui Si Si
Ja Ja Da Da’. At the end of 2014 they embarked on a hugely successful arena
tour, including a date at London’s O2 Arena.
Madness commented: “We thought we’d left no stone unturned in London: Palaces, parks,
stadiums… and now the kind people of Blackheath are letting us play there. Lets hope we don’t cause an earthquake south of the river.”
Manic Street Preachers will arrive on Blackheath following the release of one of the most
critically acclaimed albums of their career (Futurology) and the reissue of
their 1994 masterpiece The Holy Bible which was also played in full at some of
the most feverishly received gigs the band have ever played. They are
unarguably one of the UK's most treasured rock & roll bands.
Also heading to the main
stage on Saturday will critically acclaimed Anna Calvi with many more artists still to be announced. Whilst
leading independent label Heavenly
Recordings will be back to curate the second stage Heavenly & Friends.
Sunday will see the likes
of American R&B star and food lover Kelis
and British soul singer Laura Mvula
take to the main stage. National radio DJ
Gilles Peterson will be making a return and will be bringing an array of
live music and DJ sets to his Worldwide Stage.
The
Meantime Sessions Stage has also been announced
and makes a welcome addition to the bill with artists including The Rude Vandals plus Chris Holland
All Stars.
