Harvest Fest III: Josephine Illingworth + Jonique

Harvest Fest's third edition at Rough Trade Denmark Street is a benefit for a Peckham foodbank, with London folk artist Josephine Illingworth headlining and Jonique in support.

Harvest Fest's third edition takes place at Rough Trade Denmark Street, a London venue that hosts concerts and shows, and raises money for Pecan, the foodbank in Peckham. An art market runs alongside the music, and all of its proceeds go to Pecan. Josephine Illingworth headlines, with Jonique on the bill in support.

Josephine Illingworth is a London-based experimental folk artist and former chorister. After years of touring Europe and sleeping in mountain refuges, Illingworth returned to London and has spent the last year establishing a presence on the local folk circuit. The guitar-based songs are lyrically unsettling and structurally unexpected, and they earned the BBC Tune Into Nature music prize and more than 30 million streams. The 2026 EP Bright Things I Found In The Dark was written and recorded while staying in churches on pilgrimage.

Jonique, formerly of the alt-rock duo Fräulein, was born in Northern Ireland and is now based in London. The music blends alternative rock with folk, with each song presenting a distinct scene. Within the first year of the project, Jonique has played showcases for DIY Magazine, The Great Escape Festival and Ireland Music Week.
