Launching the festival season each Spring, the Camden Crawl quickly became renowned as first to showcase the forthcoming year’s most hotly tipped artists to sold out audiences since its inception at the height of Britpop in 1995. After three critically acclaimed years, the festival took a lengthy breather before re-launching in its current form in 2005. 

Started as a conduit to showcase the best emerging artists alongside surprise guests and seminal legends to die-hard music lovers, music industry and media under one umbrella, the Crawl has always prided itself in making live music affordable and accessible to everyone. Equally, with an aim to grow community between the artists appearing, fans and the new music promoters behind the scenes, the festival has retained its policy to democratically book talent via its eclectic committee of tastemakers and promote its artists on a level playing field. To enhance exposure for performers and create unique value for punters, the Crawl ticket price traditionally includes a free download compilation, programme guide and magazine featuring it’s curators and artists appearing. 

In 2007, the festival expanded across a weekend and has, by day, become a sprawling carnival-style arts festival featuring comedy & spoken word, short film, pop quizzes, busking, acoustic performances, workshops, karaoke, exhibitions and more. By night, the two mile-long stretch of pavement assumes its position as an all out live music extravaganza playing host to more than 200 of the best new talents performing across the area’s infamous venues. 

The Camden Crawl has grown from a 5 venue and 20 artist affair to include more than 50 venues and 250 artists and events in 2012. As always, one ticket (available as a weekend pass or day ticket) is exchanged for a wristband at a main entrance point and allows unlimited access to all Crawl venues, outdoor arena, after show parties and daytime activities.
