Give us the means to see an absurd number of bands in one night and Londonist is there. This Thursday, Stag and Dagger is taking over the East End in what has lovingly been dubbed "Shoreditch Crawl". In the tradition of other London neighbourhood-based music fests, Stag and Dagger will have roughly 100 bands playing at 15 venues around Shoreditch (except for the Slaughtered Lamb, which is comparatively remote, though is probably the least likely to have a queue) between 6pm and midnight. While the big drawing point for the evening is going to be live acts, there will also be a bunch of DJs, art shows, and film screenings. Tickets are still available at £14; like similar festivals you’ll get a wristband that gets you access and a schedule of events. Unfortunately, S&G are keeping mum on who’s playing where and when until Thursday, but if you check out venue and band websites, some have revealed more details. Full line-up below, including some of our picks.
