The one-day festival, created and hosted by DJ AG, will run from midday until 10pm at the playing fields near Page Street in NW4. Organisers are presenting it as an all-ages celebration of music, food and community, with established performers appearing alongside emerging and local talent.
Tickets are now on sale through the official AG Fest website. The event’s current line-up includes Maxi Priest, Kathy Sledge, Daniel Bedingfield, Alison Hinds, Baby Cham, JME, D Double E, Lady Leshurr, Devlin, DJ Ironik, Donae’O, Frisco, Kyla, Kenny Thomas and Not3s.
LeoStayTrill, D’YANI, Errol Reid, Funky Dee, Klassik Frescobar, Malika, Princess Nyah, Ragga Ruggie, Triniboi Joocie and Viper Experience are also listed, with more acts and surprise appearances due to be revealed before the festival.
Music, Food and Family Activities
The main stage will host the larger live performances and DJ sets, while a second stage will focus on rising artists, local performers and guest appearances.
Away from the music, the festival is expected to include a food and drink village offering international street food, sweet treats and options for different dietary requirements. Licensed bars will operate at the site, although visitors will not be permitted to bring their own food or drink, except in limited circumstances involving babies or children with allergies.
Family activities will include a funfair, face painting and ice cream vans. Organisers have said artists will use clean lyrics to make the performances suitable for younger visitors, although funfair rides are not included in the festival ticket price.
Under-18s must attend with an adult aged at least 21, with no more than four under-18s permitted for each accompanying adult. Groups using a family ticket must arrive together to gain admission.
VIP tickets are restricted to over-18s and include priority entry, access to an exclusive bar and upgraded facilities. All tickets are described by the organisers as non-refundable and non-exchangeable.
Travel and Accessibility Arrangements
Copthall Playing Fields is located off Champions Way and Page Street, close to Mill Hill East Underground station on the Northern line and Mill Hill Broadway railway station. Bus routes 113, 221 and 240 also serve the area.
Organisers say a free shuttle service will operate throughout the day from the nearest Underground station. Paid parking will also be available at the festival site, although attendees are being encouraged to use public transport because parking restrictions apply in nearby residential streets.
The festival has advertised step-free routes where possible, accessible toilets, a designated wheelchair area and complimentary companion tickets. Visitors requiring a personal assistant or carer ticket have been asked to contact the organiser in advance with their booking information and supporting documents.
Last entry will be at 6pm, and visitors will not be allowed to leave the site and return later. Most traders are expected to accept card payments, while no cash machines will be available within the festival grounds.
The first AG Fest remains subject to licensing, according to the event website. Further line-up announcements and practical updates are expected before the gates open at midday on Saturday, 25 July.
