South Facing

Crystal Palace Park, London

The Crystal Palace Bowl, where the concerts take place is an iconic South London venue with a rich musical tradition, stretching back more than 165 years! We’re happy to be the ones who shook it awake as no concerts had taken place in the Bowl for 30 years before we re-activated it.

Our critically-acclaimed, open-air concert series welcomes a mix of high-profile artists across multiple genres to the legendary Crystal Palace Bowl. Over the past three years the likes of London Grammar, The Streets, Jungle, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, Max Richter and the English National Opera have taken to the South Facing stage for a series of unforgettable shows.

The first-ever festival celebrating the works of Handel took place in 1857, while prior to South Facing it’s played host to special shows from the likes of…

Pink Floyd, Bob Marley, Elton John, Lou Reed, Eric Clapton, The Pixies, Vera Lynn, the London Symphony Orchestra, The Cure, The Beach Boys, Carlos Santana, Jeff Beck, Gil Scott Heron, Curtis Mayfield, Jimmy Cliff and Hawkwind.
