LIDO, Wide Awake and City Splash: A guide to London’s day festivals

If you’re after a festival of jazz, funk and soul without the stampede of Oakley sunglass-wearing techno-lovers that define many of the other festivals in the capital, Cross The Tracks might just be the one for you. Set for May 25, past iterations have brought together legends (Chaka Khan, Roy Ayres, Kelis) and emerging talent (Joy Crookes, Greentea Peng) to provide attendees with a laidback, alternative to its dance-heavy Brockwell Park counterparts. Muswell Hill’s Mercury Prize winner Michael Kiwanuka headlines this year, with the soulful sounds of Nala Sinephro, Jordan Rakei and Giles Peterson also set to soundtrack the day.
