A popular free riverside music festival is returning to Greenwich this August featuring a full line-up of artists.

Turning Tides, Greenwich’s free music festival, will be returning to the Greenwich Peninsula on August 10 with a full line-up of national and international acts.

The festival is part of the annual Peninsula Summer event, which hosts a calendar of summer events ranging from music and film to food.

Set within the Design District, the event is just a two-minute walk from North Greenwich tube station and the IFS Cloud Cable Car, and a short distance from the O2 with its variety of restaurants, eateries and shops.

This year marks its sixth year running and 2024 will feature indie-pop band Girl Ray as the headline act, alongside acts from a variety of genres from electro-fusion to afro-funk.

The event will also feature brand-new performances from afro-funk band Ibibio Sound Machine, who will play new music from their 2024 released ‘Pull the Rope’.

The line-up will be completed by Bristol’s new indie-rock outfit Supalung, and a psychedelic electro-punk four-piece band from London and Bahrain called Flamingods.

The festival will also feature south-east London based J.Flowers.mps, a self-releasing and multi-genre artist, as well as Brighton-based BabyEleanor, who join forces to perform their latest track ‘Language’.

Girl Ray, headliner at Turning Tides Festival, said: “We're so excited to headline Turning Tides Festival on 10th August! It's always so fun to play in the city we grew up in, especially in a festival setting. We'll be performing songs from our album 'Prestige' that came out last summer, as well as some trusty old hits from the back catalogue.

“We're really excited to be a part of the eclectic lineup and are particularly looking forward to Ibibio Sound Machine and Flamingods, bands we love and who have a fantastic live set”.

The one-day event is free; however, visitors are being advised to book online prior to the event to secure places.
