Stuck for something to do on Saturday? Bored of knocking about your London flat, making tea and eating crumpets, listening to Gavin Peacock go on and on and on about how stressful penalty taking is? Might as well take a trip to Finsbury Park, then...
This year's Rise: London United Festival (click for a link) takes place in the north London park on Saturday July 8. Among the main stage performers are Graham Coxon, Common and The Duke Spirit - and there are many other stages, too. Best of all, the event's totally free.
