Leaf To Curate Stage At Camden Crawl 2010
Published 22 January 2010 by BWL

2010 is The Leaf Label's 15th anniversary, and over the coming months we will be putting together a series of events under the banner of Leaf XV, both standalone and at festivals around the world to celebrate some of the great live artists we are lucky enough to work with. The first instalment to be made public is our involvement with this year's Camden Crawl in London.

The Camden Crawl is a festival unsurprisingly centred around the borough of Camden, staged at a host of venues, each curated by different hosts (this year's event sees Artrocker, Bella Union, Rockfeedback and Warp, amongst others) who are all involved in helping to select the artists that appear at the festival. The event runs on the first Bank Holiday weekend of May, with our night happening on Sunday 2nd.

The line up will be announced soon, but you can keep up to date and find ticket information here:
