Camden Crawl 2010 launches
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 21 October 2009
The Camden Crawl is back for its ninth year (and sixth in a row) on 1-2 May next year, which is nice. As ever, the event will feature a line-up of cutting edge bands, plus established acts and some that really aren’t any good at all. But with 200 acts playing over the course of two days, the probability that you’ll see some kick ass shows is high.
But why are we even talking about something that’s not happening for more than half a year? Simple, friends, there is a special launch gig happening in just two weeks, on 4 Nov at the Blues Kitchen in Camden. People who buy Camden Crawl tickets before the gig will get in for the discounted price of absolutely nothing, while all others will be punished with an £8 entrance fee (all of which will be donated to War Child). The line-up is currently a secret, but some acts will be revealed next week, with secret special guests announced via the Camden Crawl Twitter feed at twitter.com/thecamdencrawl on the day of the event.
Earlybird tickets for the Crawl itself go on sale tomorrow morning at 9am. The first 1000 people to purchase them will also receive a Christmas card and a compilation CD called ‘Camden Heroes’, featuring ten tracks from some of the finest acts to have played the Camden Crawl over the years. Plus, £2 of their money will go to War Child in an effort to make The Young Soul Rebels shut up.
Initial line-ups for the Crawl itself will be announced in January. If you wanted further details on all of this, it would probably be sensible to go to www.thecamdencrawl.com
