Scenesters, cheapskates, hark! For some reason there are more festivals in London this summer than there are chalky clods of pigeon shit. Which is all good n' all, but ultimately leaves you with either an empty wallet or a sense of having 'missed out' on something. Want a festival without having to tackle these quandaries?
The '1-2-3-4 Shoreditch' festival will debut in east London this Sunday 5th of August, pitching tent FREE four-fold in Shoreditch Park.
Fun will run from midday to 9pm. Here's the line-up:
MySpace Main Stage Special Guest Headline TBA The Paddingtons Shy Child The Whip The Bishops Man Like Me Ali Love (Acoustic) Neils Children Florence and the Machine Lightspeed Champion Littl'ans Christine The Mighty Roars The Idle Lovers Underground Railroad Hosted by Queens of Noize

Festival organiser Lewis Rainsbury had this to say:
"If you like water, and you like cream, THIS IS THE FESTIVAL FOR YOU!"
Tasty.
