Camden Crawl has announced a new opening night extravaganza on Friday 4th May at KOKO starting at 5pm. The opening night party will feature a soon to be announced special guest headliner alongside five live acts and a special edition of Club NME until 4am.

An early bird weekend ticket and opening night party ticket will be priced at £62.50, with opening night at KOKO only tickets priced at £20.

There are no acts confirmed yet for 2012. The first acts will be announced in January, and the full line up for the festival will be announced in early 2012 with venue schedules and surprise guest appearances remaining under wraps until the event starts.

Spread over a two mile stretch of historic pubs and venues Camden Crawlers can sample new talent for over thirty hours across more than fifty venues. In addition to showcasing more than 250 live music acts, other events will include comedy, storytelling & spoken word, fringe theatre, a fanzine, poster and record fair, independent film screenings, outdoor live music stages and more. The festival's interactive events will continue to include pop quizzes, live karaoke and plans are afoot for an 'alternative pub-Olympics'.

Upon arrival ticket holders will receive an all access wristband (individual venue capacities permitting), programme guide, magazine and download album to help navigate the festival.

Also launching in conjunction with the build up to the 2012 event is the festival's new FREE bi-weekly club night, 'Variety' described by organisers as "four great nights out in one". The first of which happens to coincide with ticket day on Wednesday, 26th October 2011 and will offer an assortment of comedy, competitive pop quizzes, guest DJs and a special live music guest each week. Held at Star of Kings (located next to Kings Place, London, N1), the debut will feature comedy from Tiernan Douieb, and Phil Nichol, Rough Trade Shops pop quiz, GGood Girls Gone Bad DJs, and guest live performance from Young Legionnaire, and Two Wounded Birds.
