Legendary rare groove DJ Norman Jay will headline the Together 23 festival next month, which is expected to bring thousands of people to Charlton Park.
The Kiss FM co-founder will follow performances from Parklife, a Britpop tribute band, and the southeast London party collective Groove 101 at the festival, which will take place from noon to 6pm on Saturday June 10.
Last year’s festival, which coincided with Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee, was headlined by Tyber and Pete from the Dualers and brought 18,000 people to the park.
The family festival, which is being put on by Greenwich Council, will also feature arts, crafts and drumming workshops for children as well as stalls and a chance to meet councillors and community groups.
Adel Khaireh, the cabinet member for equality, culture and communities, said: “Every year, our family festival unites our communities for a free day of fun and I’m thrilled to be bringing the celebrations back to Charlton Park for a third time.
“We’ve got a fantastic line-up this year. From DJ Norman Jay and Parklife, to arts, crafts and Boppin’ Bunnies, there’s something for everyone. Get to know your local community groups and as always, our market village will be filled with local traders to try out.”
The event means that Charlton parkrun will not take place that day – giving runners and walkers a chance to visit the new Thames Path parkrun in Woolwich, which opened last weekend.
More details of Together 23 can be found on the council website.
