Dozens of street artists will again be painting Bristol's city centre as part of a London 2012 Festival event.
See No Evil has invited "30 of the world's most prolific street artists" to paint Nelson Street in August.
Last year projectors were brought in to help artists create graffiti on buildings up to 10 storeys high.
Ruth Mackenzie, from London 2012 Festival, said it was a "great example" of how the festival was "bringing world class arts to people - for free".
The project was launched last year as a collaboration between Bristol street artist Inkie and music promoters Team Love.
This year the artists are being curated by Inkie and the event has the support of the Arts Council, London 2012 Festival and the city council.
Organiser Mike Bennett said the unique event was "designed to showcase the talent in the world of urban art and music".
"The pieces created over the week will create a legacy from the project and a destination for urban art fans from all over the world," he said.
"There are going to be some massive names from the world of graffiti involved this year, we're really excited to welcome them."
The week long festival will also include a series of music events and culminate in a free New York style block party on Nelson Street over the weekend.
A unique installation, created by 3D Projection experts, will open the weekend's music in the Passenger Shed in Temple Meads.
See No Evil, which runs from 13 to 19 August, is part of the London 2012 Festival - a summer-long arts festival throughout the country to celebrate the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
