This year's Land of Kings starts alfresco style in the afternoon with an indoor/outdoor village fete-come-street party, spiralling out as night falls to infiltrate the neighbourhood. Expect a pop-up live stage presented with RFB, rooftop barbecue, label showcases, and original DIY broadcasters London Fields Radio, plus Street Feast of Kings - our very own convoy of the finest grub from Street Feast.

Theatres, basement bars, clubs and pubs, cafes and warehouse spaces will host over a kilometre of locally sourced festival fun and provide the backdrop for a good old East End knees up. Guests will be able to dine on a regal banquet laid on by a host of carefully selected concessions as well as special discounts in local restaurants for festival-goers.
