The third edition of The Underage Festival will begin this Sunday, August 2nd in Victoria Park, Hackney.

The line-up appointed to entertain the exclusively teenage audience that will attend (as indeed, as the name suggests, the UF is aimed at 14 to 18-year-olds strictly) counts the likes of Santogold newly known as Santigold (is Santi White getting megalomaniac here or what?), The Horrors, the little prince of grand electronica Patrick Wolf, this year's festival favourites The Mystery Jets, Flash Guns, Pigeon Detectives, Ladyhawke, our very own Linkin-cum-Prodigy sonic hybrid in Hadouken!, Metronomy, Rolo Tomassi, Esser, Grimmers Tinchy Stryder and JME, DJs de choc Kissy Sell Out, Caspa, First Aid Kit, The Diamonds, Plastician, as well The Chapman Family and The Whip, and many more, who will perform across four stages.

This fresh extravanganza is supported by the likes of Converse, Topman, Artrocker and Youth Music.

With tickets costing £30.00 (incl. booking fee), hopefullly these teens will see it as a good investment of their pocket money...
