Does anyone know what the curfew generally is for Finsbury Park? Just trying to work out if we’ll have enough time the catch the last train back. 

Where to?

Back up to Nottingham, I thought the last train was around midnight turns out it’s 10.30. So cheap hotel and night out in London it is.

Maybe if we run really fast we can make both.

I guess I will be seeing them at the O2 in a couple of weeks. Makes up for it slightly.

Yeah, I have tickets for the O2 aswell. That will just have  to do.

[charlierc]

Honestly I'd prefer to go to their O2 show given how inconsistent Finsbury Park's acoustics can be.

For Arctic Monkeys in 2014, it was good when I was in the front rows for Royal Blood & Miles Kane but when I had to go to the back of the front circle after I got food and couldn't get back to my initial spot, the sound was nothing like as good, and for Queens, it was bizarrely inconsistent where I stood.

Though I do recall Rage in 2010 sounding great. But then my memory of that night is a little hazy.

You are probably right and they were good last year in the O2 but the Finsbury Park lineup looks so good already with Pale Waves, Phoebe Bridger & Beabadoobee. With 2 stages it will be like a mini festival ☺️

Its basically just Community under a different name

[moams]

Can anyone recommend the best place to stay that is easily accessible from Finsbury Park? As you can imagine all hotels nearby as ridiculously expensive

It’s Royal Blood isn’t it. Can definitely see it with the This Is Tomorrow announcement.

Probably with Sam Fender - Declan McKenna - Sundara Karma to make the top 4

I’d be happy with just Royal Blood.

I’ll be BUZZING if it is 

[mgmmmm]

So twitter confirms it’s happening at least

[NickisGinger]

Yeah I’ve just seen that. Hopefully soon is soon and not April. 

[Jake1234]

So Community is defo going ahead now,

Personally I can only realistically see the Courteeners headlining, maybe the wombats?

i feel as if Royal Blood is a step away from the indie scene that just won’t happen

Royal Blood are headlining various mid size festivals.  Doubt they’ll do their own show too

[NickisGinger]

This could be two days maybe?

I was calm. Just injecting a sense of humour into proceedings 

[NickisGinger]

I kind of feel Kings of Leon aren’t playing anymore... unless they’re part of Community?

[charlierc]

The date listed was part of the weekend of Community Festival, so could be that they're just grouped together for logistical purposes - think some people did that in the weekend when Liam Gallagher and Queens of the Stone Age did Finsbury Park using the Community Festival stage set-up.

Even so, its very odd that the date was pre-emptively announced a while ago and since then, nothing.

That will prob be unlikely and you'll see why round about 5pm 

[Dronx]

[charlierc]

Hmmm... I like songs by Soccer Mommy and Big Moon, and I hear good things about Inahler, so this could tempt me even with Kings of Leon's hit-and-miss reputation.

Even if I know no Courteneers tracks. Their dark fruit reputation does precede them. Mainly based on what I saw on the Reading thread.

Incidentally Kings of Leon aren't UK exclusive for FP. They're also playing Newcastle and Leeds in the week running up their Saturday night Mad Cool headline slot.

That's such a strong lineup imo. I wasn't  really considering this gig when I heard the rumours but if I fail in the glasto resale I think I'll go. I'd be happy with the lineup even with KoL taken off! Love Courteeners, Cage the Elephant, Inhaler and The Big Moon. 

[atomised]

Strong line up for a one dayer
