On Saturday April 2, venues around Hanwell will host over 80 bands of various genres, from funk to heavy metal, for the annual Hanwell Hootie music festival.
Growing year-on-year, in 2016 the festival will see over 80 bands in 14 venues. 10,000 to 12,000 people are expected to enjoy the music and atmosphere during the day.
Bands will be playing in local venues, including The Viaduct, The Fox, Duke of York, and - new for this year - Igloo Village, St Mellitus Church and St Mark's School.
The town of Hanwell is famed as the 'Home of Loud', as Marshall guitar amplifiers were created there. Now in its fourth year, the festival has been running since Marshall amplifiers creator Jim Marshall OBE died in 2012, in order to continue his legacy.
A spokesman for the festival said: "There is a historic story here that will continue to be celebrated, in which is now London's biggest free independent music festival.
"The Hootie is a platform for people to make new friendships and encourages fun with neighbours."
Hanwell boasts a deep musical history, with bands such as Led Zepplin and The Who having rehearsed at Hanwell Community Centre.
Performer at last year's Hanwell Hootie, Emily Lee, said: "All the locals have been saying to me that this place is really music-oriented and that's really nice to have a community.
"It is nice to immerse yourself in it. I like the fact that Hanwell Hootie is really strong in terms of its line-up."
