Rise and shine

A mouthwatering addition to the festival calendar in 2020 is Wide Awake, a one-day event taking place in London's Brockwell Park in early June. Presumably named after the marvellous Parquet Courts song/album, and brought to us by the founders of Field Day, it seems to be very much in the same vein as the extremely good value but sadly shortlived 1-2-3-4 Festival that I had the good fortune to go to in 2010 and 2012 , both in terms of eminently affordable ticket prices and line-up. The bill already features black midi, Crack Cloud, Daniel Avery and Dream Wife, with more to be announced. It's just a real shame that it's on a Friday rather than a weekend.
