The group shared: “Evidently, council budgets are tight. But elsewhere in the borough, Haringey Council is making great investments in parks. And perversely, this deal appears to deliver less money for Finsbury Park”
The Highbury Community Association also opposed the deal citing similar concerns as well as warning standards could slip over the five-year period.
Alexandra Worrell, a Labour councillor for Stroud Green ward, said she believed events of the scale of Wireless were “unsuitable” for the park and claimed that the council was not “sufficiently clear, transparent or communicative” on how the money being raised from the events were being used.
Accoring to the council, the events raise roughly £1.2million each year for Finsbury Park which funds the maintenance team and paying for improvements such as a new play space, air-quality monitoring stations and an expanded skate park.
It claims only holding events with fewer than 10,000 attendees would mean having to find an extra £400,000 per year to support the park.
“As well as bringing in significant funds to help us manage and improve the park, events are an important opportunity for residents, especially our young people, to access world-class music and culture in an affordable and sustainable way,” said council leader Peray Ahmet.
This year’s Wireless Festival is set to take place at Finsbury Park between July 7-9. Travis Scott, Playboi Carti and D-Block Europe are set to play the festival as UK exclusive headliners. 50 Cent, meanwhile, is set to perform as a special guest.
Other artists on the bill include Lil Uzi Vert, Headie One, Joey Bada$$, Lil Durk, Popcaan, Lola Brooke and Glorilla. The latter artist, who features in this year’s NME 100, will make her exclusive UK debut at Wireless. Visit here for tickets and more information.
Last year’s Wireless Festival saw Cardi B headline Finsbury Park for a UK exclusive performance. SZA played her debut UK festival headline set, while Nicki Minaj also topped the bill.
