OnBlackheath music festival postponed to 2013.
After careful consideration, and taking into account the additional usage of Blackheath in this Olympic year, the directors of On Blackheath have taken the decision to postpone their inaugural two day music event until September 2013.
"We have looked long and hard at the challenges that this unique year presents and believe that Blackheath and its residents will be best served by moving the event back to 2013.
We have had a huge level of support and interest from within the local community and remain as focused as ever on creating an event that can showcase local artists and businesses alongside a breadth of international musical talent.
It is disappointing to be missing this year but we look ahead to 2013 with confidence and excitement."

OnBlackheath gets green light!
Having spent the last five months fighting an appeal against our licence, we are very pleased to confirm the first 'OnBlackheath' two day music event will now take place in September 2012.
We're delighted that we're finally going to be able to bring a fantastic music experience to the area.
The aim is to not only showcase Blackheath as one of London's most beautiful open spaces but to enable the community to experience and enjoy live music from some of the most exciting UK & international artists whilst also giving local talent a platform to perform.
It's a real shame that we haven't been able to achieve our ambitions for 2011 but we'll be forging ahead from this point forward.
We're keen to involve all local stakeholders; including businesses, talent and media and will be keeping the community fully informed as plans develop.
