Brockwell Live, the promoters behind London’s Field Day, Wide Awake and Cross The Tracks festivals, has announced that all of its festivals will run as planned at Brockwell Park.
The news comes after a local campaign group won a High Court legal dispute that found Brockwell Live did not possess the correct planning permission for its summer events.
However, in an Instagram message posted on 19 May, the company stated: “Brockwell Live can confirm that all events in the series will go ahead as planned.
“Friday’s High Court ruling dealt with a particular point of law and whether an administrative process had been carried out correctly,” the statement went on to say.

This year’s series of Brockwell Live events has been uncertain after local resident and Protect Brockwell Park campaigner Rebekah Shaman brought legal action against Lambeth Council over the use of the park for festivals throughout the summer.
Shaman claimed additional planning permission was needed as festivals can only use public parks for 28 days per year without the need for additional planning permission, but that Brockwell Park would be used for up to 37 days.
