On Sunday 16th September 2018, London will see its first ever vegan music festival, held at the prestigious Piano Works in Farringdon. The festival line-up includes 13 vegan bands, 1 vegan DJ and a fabulous selection of vegan food vendors and ethical art / jewellery / clothing stalls.
Veganism has been on the rise for the last few of years and has consequently received a lot of media coverage. As demand for vegan products grows, so does the need for vegan companies, brands and events. London has seen many music festivals, but this will be the first time veganism and music come together in this way. With the Vegstock event page organically reaching over 200K views in just over a week, and with over 3K marked as interested in the event, it’s clear this is something the residents of London have been wanting.
Vegans are the obvious target market here, but the team are also hoping to attract non-vegans, with Vegstock being the perfect place to experience and enjoy some of the best vegan food London has to offer, alongside a plethora of vegan drinks (alcoholic and non) supplied by The Piano Works. Vegstock founder Jen Armstrong comments “We want everyone to experience how great veganism is, how easy it can be, how affordable it can be, and how fun it can be.”
Vegstock is also raising funds for the organisation ‘Open Cages’ who aim to prevent farmed animal suffering through education, documentation of farm conditions, and subsequently through systematic social change. UK president Connor Jackson comments “We are a relatively new organisation in the UK and it’s platforms like Vegstock which will really help to gain exposure and increase support.”
Vegstock will run 1pm until midnight. For anyone interested in attending, they can buy tickets online at https://vegstockuk.eventbrite.co.uk/ and for more information about the event including bands and vendors, head to https://www.facebook.com/events/225612804918701/
