This summer, Camden Market is launching its free 'Summer in Camden' series – a celebration of music, culture and community. And the place to be? The Dark Horse and its rooftop terrace, where The Summer Sessions kick off on 31 July, continuing through August.

It's set in the heart of Camden's iconic North Yard, and is a summer-long gig series that offers a mix of London's top DJs and emerging artists, spanning soul, R&B, jazz, pop, and electronic sounds. Sip on cocktails and tuck into seasonal dishes, all while soaking up Camden's buzzy vibes under the sunshine.

On July 31, catch pop star DEJA – with 1.5 million TikTok likes and fresh from Glastonbury – and soul singer Sedric Perry, who has 200k monthly Spotify listeners. They'll perform from 3pm to 7pm, bringing vibes inspired by legends like Michael Jackson and Prince.

Also on the lineup: Vibe Village, London's leading live act, fresh from their Jazz Cafe Camden headline show, plus regulars Tini Tinks and Matt Maijah. Known for their weekly Wednesday sets at The Dark Horse, they bring serious vibes and a roster that's graced stages from The Brits to Glastonbury.

Swing by Camden this July and August to enjoy the best of the area's summer scene.
