Wireless 2025 at London’s Finsbury Park: bag policy and full list of banned items

Are you heading to Wireless this weekend? You’ve probably already gathered a gang of mates, booked in the pre-festival manicure and started preparing the presumably Drake-heavy pre-drinks playlist. But there is one more thing you need to do before the festival, and that’s check all the items you’re not allowed to bring. 

The festival is headlined by Drizzy three days in a row, which isn’t something we’ve ever seen before. The Boy will be joined by PARTYNEXTDOOR, Burna Boy, Vybz Cartel and more across the three days, and he’ll be playing a different set on each day apparently, so you won’t be stuck listening to ‘Hotline Bling’ three days in a row. 

Don’t want to get caught out by forbidden items at Wireless? Here’s everything you need to know.
