Following its vibrant debut in 2023, Uptown Festival is back at London’s Blackheath on Sunday, 28 July 2024, promising an electrifying day of music and family-friendly fun. Hosted by Magic Radio, last year’s inaugural event set a high bar with its lively atmosphere and enthusiastic crowds, and 2024 aims to surpass it.

Headlining this year’s festival are Madness, Britain’s iconic ska band, renowned for hits like Baggy Trousers and It Must Be Love. With 21 UK top 20 singles between 1978 and 1986, and over 30 in total, they remain one of the UK’s most successful chart acts. Joining them are The Zutons, Lightning Seeds, and additional acts to be announced, ensuring a diverse musical lineup.

The festival offers more than music. Expect a revamped VIP area, multiple bars, large screens for optimal viewing, and a variety of food stalls catering to all tastes.
