**CANCELLED**
On 4 May 2012, an email was sent out announcing that Go.Go Festival 2012 has been cancelled.
Planet London is looking forward to this eagerly awaited festival, particularly as it has moved to North London. This year the event organisers have gone above and beyond last year's expectations - expect bigger, better and more glam!
Early Bird tickets have sold out in record time, but fear not as there are still lots of tickets available! A standard weekend camping pass is £110 or day passes for £40. If you're more of a luxury camper (aka glamper) Go.Go have festival huts for £450 (sleeps 4 people).
We look forward to seeing you all there! Read below as we give you the initial low down on what to expect.

South London stand up Rosie Wilby’s female performance showcase Femmes by the Thames has been running every few months for the past two years at Royal Vauxhall Tavern to rave reviews and rapt audiences with guest acts including Pippa Evans, Lady Carol, Sarah Louise Young and Mae Martin gracing the stage. However, the story actually all started back in 2007 with a short monthly run on Battersea Barge as Femmes on the Thames and, for one very special night only, the Femmes are returning to their original home as part of Wandsworth Arts Festival.
