The music and food festival, which is sponsored by John Lewis, has formerly been organised by independent festival organisers On Blackheath Events. However, the event did not go ahead in 2012 and 2013 due to opposition from the Blackheath Society and unforeseen circumstances.
Massive Attack and Frank Turner have been announced as headliners of the two-day festival, with soul singer Aloe Blacc, indie band Athlete and Irish singer-songwriter Imelda May confirmed to perform.
The festival will also host an immersive food stage that will feature a variety of Michelin-starred chefs, a silent disco, a street and fringe theatre and a farmers’ market.
Goldsmith said: "This is a true London festival committed to a weekend brimming with entertainment. We are delighted that Massive Attack are working with us to curate the line-up on Saturday and that the brilliant Frank Turner will be heading up the main stage on Sunday.
"South London needed a premiere annual event and this is the first of its kind, in a fantastic landmark location. We are thrilled to have John Lewis as our partner appealing to both their customers and the London music audience."
