Wireless Festival is back at Finsbury Park this weekend (July 7-9) with a mega lineup featuring Playboi Carti, Travis Scott and Ice Spice. It’s set to be a right laugh. But before you grab your journey juice and head to the north London park, you should be aware that the three-day event is operating a very strict bag policy, with attendees not allowed to bring any bags larger than an A4 piece of paper (W21cm x H30cm x D8cm).
Wireless has published a list of prohibited items lengthier than the bar queues at Pulp last weekend. Some of the forbidden items make sense, like weapons, blowtorches and drones. Others are a bit more… random. Make sure not to bring any animals (other than registered hearing or guide dogs), catapults or metal drinking bottles. The festival has also banned Chinese lanterns, cool bags and cutlery, so leave your spork at home.
