Festival Republic: Gunnersbury Park Concerts

This August, Gunnersbury Park will once again transform into the vibrant epicentre of West London's live music scene, as Festival Republic gets set to host five days of festival-style concerts. Last year's lineup was huge, featuring some of the biggest and best names in music, such as Korn and Tom Grennan, but with a lineup of world-class talent that spans electronic, rock, indie, and psychedelic sounds, this year’s lineup is arguably even better.

The series begins on Friday 8th August, when tech-house DJ and producer PAWSA takes over the park for a special 7-hour set. PAWSA has announced a number of 'PAWSA in the Park' dates for this year, with this one guaranteed to be extra special given it is a hometown show. The show has been announced with special guests TBA, meaning there are even more exciting acts set to be joining one of the most influential names on the electronic scene.

Saturday 9th August then sees a shift to indie-rock as British music icons The Libertines take over the park. Having seen The Libertines on their most recent tour, describing them as a must-see act for all, I can promise this will be a night you don't want to miss. Before The Libertines take to the stage, concertgoers will be treated to one of this year's best supporting line-ups, including Supergrass, who are set to light up the stage with their feel-good hits, and SOFT PLAY, who possess an uncompromising energy on stage. The supporting line-up is completed by the genre-blending excellence of Hak Baker, the riotous punk of Lambrini Girls and the infectious energy of Real Farmer. Having seen a number of the acts on this line-up already, I can safely say this will be one of the greatest days of live music anywhere this summer.
