Park Fest at Derry GAA ground denied entertainment license over 'noise' concerns

A decision not to allow a new music festival to take place last weekend in Derry was because organisers didn't provide the required paperwork, the council said.

Derry City and Strabane District Council said that "Park Fest" - which was due to take place between August 26-28 - didn't receive a valid entertainment license because a noise management plan was not provided.

It's understood that council officers initially expressed noise concerns to the organisers month ago, citing the surrounding residential area near the Celtic Park stadium on Derry's Lone Moor Road.
