Our three 2019 stages
The main stage (Town Square) at Cro Cro Land 2019 was where festival goers enjoyed a bill headed up by some exciting established artists from the UK and beyond, including Blood Red Shoes, The Lovely Eggs, Nova Twins, Bang Bang Romeo, and She Drew The Gun.
Our emerging talent stage (Concrete Playground) included Moses, Sisteray, Chorusgirl, and Fightmilk.
Our acoustic stage (The Tram Stop) was a place to chill out, where festival goers enjoyed music from many artists including Emily Magpie, Kristina Stazaker, and Rob Doherty.
Our 2019 charity partner
Lives Not Knives is a youth led charity for young people in London, working to prevent knife crime, serious youth violence and anti social behaviour as well as giving support and guidance to young people most in need.
We worked with Lives Not Knives (LNK) in two ways. Firstly £1 from each general release ticket sold was donated to the charity. Secondly we ran a mentoring programme with the LNK team to give young people the opportunity to shadow professionals across different aspects of the event, not only giving insight into the myriad of roles involved in live music outside of performance, but also valuable work experience.
