Somers Town Festival 2026 was an incredible day! So many of you on Chalton Street, dancing, singing, parading, eating, laughing and taking in in the explosion of colour and positivity. We love our community. Thank you all for coming!

More big thanks to all who played, danced and cooked (the food was EVEN MORE delicious than ever)! We appreciate every last one of you. Thanks to all our amazing volunteers, the bands, musicians and dancers (wasn't PP Arnold incredible?), our schools, and the absolute volcano of energy brought by the South American crew and Diablada Pillareña UK.

Huge shout out to all our tech crew and stage organisers! And a massive high five to the People's Museum! And our sponsors: Camden Council, Labtech, Morgan, Somers Town Future Neighbourhoods 2030, Stanhope, Lendlease, RMT, The Francis Crick Institute, Phoenix Court, Voluntary Action Camden.

And a HUGE gracias to our organisers and founders for their determination and drive: Jackie, Paul, plus Alan and Steve.

More photos to come (courtesy of Jeff Pitcher)... Keep an eye out and tag your friends! And... see you next year!

💥This year's after-show will look a little different from the usual. As ever, we'll be in the C**k Tavern, but this time, all eyes will be on the big screen, as England take on Norway in the Men's World Cup. The pub has four screens so everyone will have a great view!

⚽ The jukebox will be free before and after the game. Come and join us to cheer the boys on and have a dance!

Fun in the sun! Stock up on factor 30, it's going to be a scorcher! Can't wait to see you all on Saturday...📷 Jeff Pitch...

💥 We are THRILLED to announce that our headline act for this year is the utter legend that is PP Arnold!

🎶 From Ike-ette to icon, P.P. is London’s first lady of soul. We're all familiar with The First Cut is The Deepest and Angel of the Morning, but she’s also collaborated and worked with The Rolling Stones, The Small Faces, The KLF, The Nice, Jimi Hendrix, Rod Stewart, Primal Scream, Nick Drake on countless other classics.

👏 We know you'll give her the warmest Somers Town welcome! As ever, Camden's biggest street festival is FREE!
