Here’s everything you need to know.
What road closures will there be in Finsbury Park ahead of Wireless Festival 2022?
There are expected to be a number of road closures ahead of Wireless Festival 2022 in the Finsbury Park area.
Seven Sisters Road (between Hornsey Road and Green Lanes), and Stroud Green Road (between Seven Sisters Road and Tollington Park/Upper Tollington Park) will be closed between 22:00 and 23:30 on Friday and Saturday, and 21:30 and 23:00 on Sunday, in order to ensure safe egress of the public leaving the park.
The roads will be closed at all junctions joining Seven Sisters Rd between Hornsey Road and Green Lanes covering; Portland Rise, Brand Close, Alexandra Grove, Queens Drive, Wilberforce Road, Finsbury Park Road, Blackstock Road, Rock Street, Isledon Road, Coleridge Road, Yonge Park, Medina Road, Beriman Road, Thane Villas, Newington Barrow Way, Sonderburg Road, Durham Road, Pooles Park, Playford Road & Fonthill Road.
The roads will be closed at all junctions joining Stroud Green Road between Seven Sisters Road and Tollington Park / Upper Tollington Park covering; Wells Terrace, Morris Place, Lennox Road & Perth Road.
How can I leave Wireless Festival 2022 at the end of the evening?
There will be a purpose-built exit route at the end of the evening, allowing festival-goers to get home easily. This will be located within Finsbury Park, not on Seven Sisters Road. The main exit gate is by Manor House Station.
A managed queuing system will be in place to enter the Tube at both Manor House and Finsbury Park stations. Queues are expected to be shorter and to move faster at Manor House. Your journey may also be faster if you use National Rail services from Finsbury Park and change for the Tube at Highbury & Islington, Moorgate, or King’s Cross.
