Taking place on August 16 from 12pm – 10:30pm, Priory Live Festival is set to return for its fifth year in Priory Park in Orpington, bringing a line-up of acts and family entertainment.
The festival, which prides itself on championing original music, will offer a mix of chart-topping headliners and fresh grassroots talent.
Joining them will be Britpop icons Dodgy, best known for singalong classics like Good Enough and Staying Out for the Summer, and UK garage pioneers McBushkin’s Heartless Crew.
Some of the festival’s other acts this year include Scratchcard, Brooke Law, Natalie Shay and Harri Georgio, bringing a diverse mix of music to the event.
But alongside this lineup, festival goers can expect to find an Ibiza-worthy dance-along experience in the Vinyl Village dance tent, headlined by dance brand Hedkandi as part of their 25th anniversary tour.
The event was previously hailed by BBC Radio as a “love letter to music”, with this year’s event expected to be “bigger and better than ever” according to event organisers.
If you’re planning on bringing the family, the festival offers family-friendly areas in the Kids Zone, which features a range of kid-friendly activities from crown-making and face painting to funfair rides, maypole dancing and storytelling.
Under-12s can enter for free (before 6pm), helping to keep the festival accessible for young families.
For foodies, the festival will feature a huge selection of food vendors, with cuisine ranging from Greek and wood-fired pizza to Indian street food and jerk chicken, as well as classic fish and chips.
If you fancy a drink, the festival bars will be stocked with a selection of drinks, from ciders and lager, and a cocktail bar will also be on site if you fancy your favourite spritz.
For those looking to unwind, the Wellness Garden offers a serene escape in the 17th-century rose gardens, with yoga sessions from Tula Studio, reiki therapy, sound baths and crystal healing being some of the activities to do.
