This year, our major events programme will bring some of the biggest names in music to Finsbury Park, including Travis Scott, Pulp, Jamie T and the 1975.
Events bring major benefits to the Haringey, including around £1.2 million income each year which is reinvested into the park. This year there will also be two free community events giving local musicians the opportunity to take to the festival stage. Find out more about these benefits on our mythbusting fact sheet.
Letters were sent to residents earlier this month informing them about the events and the impacts that events will have on the local area.
Read below for key information about the events including how you can raise questions, concerns and feedback.

Sound checks will not be at maximum event levels and although they may last a maximum of 90 minutes within a pre agreed 3 hour period, tests will be carried out in short intervals.
