Last weekend, south London’s Wide Awake festival returned for its third edition.

The punk-inspired gathering, first launched in 2021, drew in crowds amongst a busy festival weekend in the capital with an entire end-of-year list’s worth of rising acts and familiar faces, including Shygirl, Arooj Aftab, Daniel Avery  and our February issue cover star Caroline Polacheck – who played her very first festival headline show.

Check out the pictures below for a taste of the sunny Saturday in Brockwell Park.
