A campaign to ban Wireless Festival has been started by North London residents.
Writing on the Friends of Finsbury Park website, a six page letter highlights “major security failings at last year’s event with break-ins and attempted break-ins along the perimeter fencing which resulted in large and intimidating crowds of people disrupting public order in areas of the park outside the event itself, which Live Nation were unable to control.”
It goes on to state that “it is clear to us that open drug dealing was markedly increased at the 2015 Wireless Festival,” stating “Finsbury Park is not, and should never be promoted as a venue for this kind of event.”
This year’s festival, featuring Calvin Harris, The 1975 and more, is set to take place from July 8th.
