Uptown festival 2023: Full info including start and finish times, lineup and weather

London’s Blackheath greenspace will be taken over by the Uptown Festival for the first time this weekend. The music event will make its debut in the southeast of the capital on Sunday (July 30).

It was confirmed the new music festival would take place in the capital this summer at the start of the year in January. At the time, Billy Ocean was also announced as the first headliner of the event.

Uptown Festival is set to kick off its first year with a bang as it welcomes performances from some familiar music figures. As well as Ocean, Lemar and Ronan Keating will also perform to London crowds.

The festival will not be the only music event held at London’s Blackheath over the weekend. Kisstory 2023 will bring throwback nineties and noughties tunes to the green space on Saturday (July 29).

Here’s everything Uptown Festival attendees need to know about this year’s event, from when it starts and finishes to Sunday’s expected weather.
