The people at StreetFest put on another great party this bank holiday weekend. The main stage headlined by Mr Hudson but strong performances from Ty, Reeps 1 and the End of the Weak MCs really got the people going. Outside a hyped crowd gathered around a group of b-boys, also enjoying the sunshine were graffers and artists who worked throughout the day on their pieces. Back inside skaters took turns on a specially constructed half pipe, and around the way, a well stocked street market and cinema. Where else could you have spent your Sunday?

The weather was against us but the vibes inside Hearne Street car park kept everyone going. Skaters demanding the halfpipe at the front, the cinema at the back projecting great shorts, the different styles of live art and tasty Japanese food in between. London streetwear label, Second Son, showcased some nice wears including their footwear collaborations with Adidas. Part of Second Son’s time on stage was dominated by UK Beatbox Champ, Reeps 1. Seriously this guy comes with a big sound bank which he projects with clarity.
