Now in its third year, the upcoming two-day event later in July will see Whitecross Street transformed with public art demos, music, comedy, theatre, and food stalls.

Alongside the free events taking place over the weekend the street will also be turned into an open-air art gallery for six weeks featuring works from both established and emerging street and graffiti artists.

This year will see outdoor work from Busk, Dan Hillier, Dr.D, DSCREET, Inkfetish, Malarky, Ronzo, Run, Solo One, Shepard Fairey, Teddy Badden, Will Barras, Xenz, and Best Ever to name a few.

Hookedblog recently caught up with London street artist Malarky and illustrator Matthew Bromley as they made a start on the huge mural they are painting on the street for the festival.

The street has also seen new additions from Irish artist Conor Harrington as well as some large-scale stencil work from stencil artist Teddy Baden on Banner Street featuring one of the Olympic London 2012 mascots!
