There’s been changes to the original published program for August’s ‘Brixton Wave’ event, with the live music Sunday now being cancelled without explanation.

Their website now just shows food events for Friday 11th and a ‘shopping experience’ on Saturday 12th August, with the organisers describing the event as a “brand new two day summer festival which is building on Brixton’s reputation as a destination of choice.”

They continue:

Brixton Wave’s vision is to develop the festival into a community asset with a broader food, arts and cultural tourism legacy for Brixton with international prestige and recognition, whilst remaining as representative of modern Brixton as possible.

A poster on the Brixton forum was a little less than impressed with the sudden disappearance of the live music day, commentating:

That is it. No street party, no music, no closed roads, no f*cking fun.

Here is what the official site is now advertising:

Friday This one day celebration will see participating eateries offering a specially priced taster menu, allowing visitors to try small dishes at many different restaurants throughout the day. This also includes a senior citizens menu (55+).

The Brixton Wave app will help visitors plan their route and will bring bigger discounts. Join the conversation: #wavefoodtour Saturday Visitors will celebrate the fantastic shopping experience, from the high street to Brixton Village and surrounding areas. The objective of Saturday will be to create a unique shopping experience, with offers and discounts via the Brixton Wave app. The app uses location-based data to connect shoppers, brands and retailers.
