Wireless will remain in London’s Finsbury park – as long as performers leave their potty-mouths at home and wear non-offensive clothing.

Live Nation has been given a licence for next year by Haringey Council, but after Friends Of Finsbury Park complained about noise levels, drug taking and anti-social behaviour, the licence was reviewed and new stipulations were put in place that mean the gig must also now finish at the earlier time of 9.30pm.

There will be a lot of changed lyrics in light of this, as the new rules state that ‘performers do not sing or play any vulgar, obscene or banned songs or carry out indecent acts or make any vulgar gestures, actions or remarks during the performance.’



It also states that they must ‘not offend the general public, e.g., attire which expose the groin, private parts, buttock or female breast(s)’, according to the BBC.

It’s claimed the Friends Of Finsbury Park had been hoping to get the festival shut down last year, but campaigner Tom Palin told the Standard he was happy with the proposed changes.

‘We are disappointed it hasn’t been revoked,’ he said of the decision not to cancel the licence. ‘But pleased the committee listened to us and incorporated our proposals on sound limits.

‘It was too loud and it was clear residents were being disturbed. Wireless will now have to be a quieter festival.

‘We have taken it all the way we can. We took it to a two-day licensing hearing and to get a change in that licence, I feel we have achieved a lot.’
