The third annual Bookstock street festival is back this August bank holiday Sunday, and it’s gone nautical, as Shoreditch’s Leonard Street venue The Book Club presents Bookstock-On-Sea – a celebration of the great British summer and all the fun of the seaside, with a fun-filled Shoreditch twist.
Bookstock-On-Sea is a beside-the-seaside street festival event, with a summery soundtrack provided by the likes of the legendary disco band Odyssey playing live, hip hop duo The Nextmen, Prince tribute Princeless, piano man Davos T, and Disco Bloodbath boy Ben Pistor, Big In Japan’s Captia! and Bad Zuke, all spread across three arenas – The Promenade, Sailors Rum Bar and Under the Pier in the basement, which will be transformed into a den of over 30 lights and lazers by the To The Lazer Caves cosmic crusaders.
And it wouldn’t be Bookstock without a whole lot of fun for good measure. Expect all the best bits of your favourite seaside towns, including a Slow Motion ‘Baywatch’ Running competition and a Knobbly Knees Contest, a Punch & Judy show, donkey rides, Musical ‘seaside’ Bingo, a feast of fish & chips, special edition Bookstock-On-Sea sticks of rock, gourmet ice cream and scrummy sea salt cocktails. It’s a holiday and a festival all rolled into one!
Odyssey come to Bookstock-On-Sea to perform live classic tracks such as ‘Inside Out’, ‘Native New Yorker’ and many more. Swing those hips and sing along to this much-loved band as they take to the stage this August. The two cheeky chappies that make up The Nextmen – Brad Baloo and Dom Search – drop their dancehall, drum’n’bass, reggae, roots, hip hop and straight-up party jacking pleasers to get down and dirty to.
Hop in a ‘Little Red Corvette’ or visit ‘Erotic City’ with Ross Morton’s electrifying Prince tribute act Princeless – a dancefloor-rocking band set to deliver an exciting, high-energy and unbelieveably convincing show. And Davos T shows us how you can become famous in less than 24 hours. The santa hat-clad piano player reached 40,000 YouTube hits in one day for his bonafide acid housey piano talent and incredible skill.
One half of Disco Bloodbath, Ben Pistor will be boarding the good ship Yacht Rock, belting out guilty Pop classics and party pumpers on the Promenade. Disco Bloodbath have graced some of Europe’s most discerning parties and have even gone as far as Japan and the Middle East. Ben spinning those disco discs is not to be missed. PlusCapita! and Bad Zuke of The Jinks production and DJ duo, finishes off the DJ talent on the day.
Celebrate the last bank holiday of the year beside the seaside with live acts, party DJs, great grub, flowing booze, fun competitions and a whole lot more fun besides. Brought to you by Shoreditch hangout The Book Club, Bookstock is Leonard Street’s answer to the summer festivals. It’s time for Bookstock-On-Sea.
