Welcome to Lewisham Lounge Fest, our first ever online music festival for young artists.

With live music on pause we wanted to give the talented young people out there a platform to express their creativity by offering them the virtual centre stage.

Our aim was to represent a diverse range of ages, styles, genres and talents, wanting the festival to be accessible to all, and we’ve been electrified by each and every performance – we hope you #GetInspired by what you see and hear!

Enjoy the digital stages below, if you’d like ‘one more song’ from any of the artists then get in touch and we’ll ask them! New stages and performances will be added each week so make sure to keep coming back or feel free to camp out in your browser of choice.
