After this summer’s Wireless Festival at London’s Finsbury Park, nearby residents complained about noise, drug use, and anti-social behaviour, and called for the local council to review the festival’s license. The festival has been granted permission to take place at the park again – but artists will be asked not to swear or wear “offensive” clothes, BBC News report.

Local group The Friends of Finsbury Park asked Haringey Council to review promoter Live Nation’s license, and the licensing committee’s resulting decision was to amend it rather than revoke it altogether. One of the new conditions of the license includes a request 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 says performers must not “offend” with “attire which expose the groin, private parts, buttock or female breast(s)”.

The final day of the festival will also finish 30 minutes earlier, at 21:30 BST, while new sound level limits will be applied. In a statement, The Friends of Finsbury Park thanked the council for its decision to make the festival finish earlier, but added that “several of our proposed licensing conditions have been disregarded by the committee, of which the most important is our request to reduce the number of attendees at the event”.

Although Wireless has gone through several permutations over the years, the festival’s more recent line-ups have skewed towards genres like grime, rap, and R&B from both the UK and US. Given this predominantly young, black audience, a healthy dose of scepticism around this review isn’t totally unwarranted. Would there be limitations on swearing and ‘vulgarity’ if a band with a white, middle class, BBC 6 Music-listening audience (like, say, Pulp, who headlined the festival back in 2011) were playing instead?

We’re also slightly baffled by the request to not where “attire which expose the groin, private parts, buttock or female breast(s)”. Who’s wearing assless chaps to Wireless?

If you’re an artist slated to play the festival next year, just make sure you’re a goodie good boy and you might get a treat at the end of it.
