Line-ups, updates and news for Concrete and Glass 2011

Various Venues – May 2011

Launched in 2008 to celebrate East London in all its ostensibly gritty glory, Concrete and Glass is a 16 day festival of live music and arty happenings taking place across 18 music venues, a load of galleries and over 30 'alternative sites' - i.e. disused shops, warehouses and the like.

Although the East does seem to spend a lot of time celebrating itself these days, the first installment of Concrete and Glass was a triumph of creativity, experimentalism and fun. 

The art was organised in 2008 by the brilliant Flora Fairbairn and people like Mark Neville, Tony Gill, Gavin Turk, Chosil Kil and Liliane Lijn were all involved. In terms of music, Little Boots, TV on the Radio, Pens, Kid Harpoon and Skream have all performed over the two years that the festival has been running.

Line-up is yet to be announced.
