The Underage Festival was a music festival in Victoria Park, London that was open only to those between 13 and 17.

The festival took place at the beginning of August each year. There were five main stages: the Converse Century Main Stage, the NME Stage, the Topman New Music Stage, the Domino Stage (aptly named the "Domino 15th Anniversary Stage" for the label's 15th anniversary of creation in 2008), and the Red Bull Bedroom Jam Stage. As well, some of the smaller features included the Habbo DJ tent, the CM Tower Hamlets Music Space Stage, and the Artrocker Signing Tent. The 2008 event also included a Myspace bus, where secret sets and interviews with bands took place.

The festival evolved out of a series of club nights, held in the Elephant and Castle area of South London and hosted and organised by Sam Kilcoyne, the teenage son of Barry 7 from Add N to (X) and current member of the band S.C.U.M, after he was refused admission to a Buzzcocks gig for being only 14. These became popular with preteens and teenagers and even received press coverage in broadsheet national newspapers like The Guardian and the BBC's arts programmes, which reported it as a "youthquake".

Following the cancellation of the 2012 event, no further editions have taken place.

The 2008 festival took place on 8 August 2008. The event was a success, with around 10,000 fans attending. Many queued for hours prior to the gates opening to gain entry.[2] Headliners included Gallows, Dizzee Rascal, Foals, and The Dykeenies.

The Horrors were originally scheduled to play the Main Stage, but had to pull out due to recording commitments.[3] They were replaced by Dizzee Rascal. Mystery Jets were also scheduled to open the festival with a set on the Main Stage, but pulled out just a few days before due to their lead singer Blaine Harrison being in hospital.[4] They were replaced with Kid Harpoon.

XX Teens set featured an appearance by famous anti-war protester Brian Haw, who was at the time the longest residing resident of the peace camp situated outside Parliament Square. Following set-closer "For Brian Haw", Haw gave a ten-minute speech regarding the War in Iraq.[5]

The Myspace bus featured an acoustic set by Bombay Bicycle Club,[2] as well as an interview with Dizzee Rascal for website need2know.[6]

Layering of ocean water due to density differences It has been suggested that Water column be merged into this article. (Discuss) Proposed since October 2023. Ocean stratification is the natural separation of an ocean's water into horizontal layers by density, which is generally stable because warm water floats on top of cold water, and heating is mostly from the sun, which reinforces that arrangement. Stratification is reduced by wind-forced mechanical mixing, but reinforced by convection (w...
