Camden Crawl

Camden Crawl was a music festival in Camden, London, which first appeared in 1995 and then was held annually from 2005 to 2014.

Rather than a single venue, Camden Crawl operated at multiple venues simultaneously, with different acts taking the stage at different venues. This format is sometimes referred to as a "microfestival", a type of event which Time Out's Guide to London 2012 described as "a cross between a pub crawl and a music festival" and noted that Camden Crawl had originated.Drowned in Sound magazine called Camden Crawl "[u]ndoubtedly the first festival of its kind in the UK". Venues which hosted the events included The Barfly, Camden Underworld, Dingwalls, Dublin Castle, Electric Ballroom, KOKO, and Proud Gallery.

Unlike genre-specific music festivals, Camden Crawl booked acts from a wide variety of musical styles, including dubstep, folk, indie, new wave, pop, post-punk, punk, rock, shoegaze, and techno. Performers who have participated in Camden Crawl include Adele, Disclosure, Florence + the Machine, Mumford & Sons, and Amy Winehouse. In addition to bands and solo musicians, performers in some years included art historians, comedians, poets, and people with unusual skills such as hula hooping. In some years, the combination of popular musicians and tiny venues led to long lines, fan frustration and the nickname "Camden Queue".
