Watch the trailer for new ‘Camden’ docuseries, starring Noel Gallagher, Dua Lipa and more
The official trailer for the upcoming documentary series Camden has been shared – you can watch it below.
The show, which is executive produced by Dua Lipa, will go behind the scenes with some of the world’s biggest artists, revealing untold stories of how Camden in London shaped their lives and careers.
It is due to premiere on Disney+ around the world and via Hulu in the US next Wednesday (May 29).
Per a description, the four-part series will explore “Camden’s rich history” through “archive footage, observational filming and interviews” with the likes of Chris Martin, The Libertines, Yungblud, Little Simz and Nile Rodgers.
“Hearing from world-renowned musicians as they relive their Camden experiences; from their very first gigs to sell-out concerts, the highs and lows of nights out and a youth spent discovering music,” it adds.
Lipa has now shared a trailer for Camden, soundtracked by The Libertines’ classic song ‘Don’t Look Back Into The Sun’.
“Camden – so full of life and music,” says Coldplay frontman Martin. Noel Gallagher then says that the area has “got a heartbeat” and a “vibe”, adding: “It’s got an energy to it.”
The video goes on to show Lipa browsing a local record shop while talking about the late Camden icon Amy Winehouse, before Pete Doherty recalls a past run-in with Liam Gallagher.
Later, we see Lipa in Camden to record music early on in her career. In a voiceover, the ‘Radical Optimism’ singer explains: “It’s this place of radical acceptance – seeing that makes you believe in yourself. This is really my home.”
Yungblud says: “You hang around and if you touch enough magic, you hope a little bit rubs off on you.”
