Victoria Park's summer festival usage could increase by more than double
"AEG currently has the right to take over the park for 28 days per year. Now, the company has requested permission to extend its takeover to 75 days - more than double its current lot."
"Tower Hamlets Council has already stressed that the extension has been requested to 'safely install and remove major infrastructure', with no talk of increasing event days."
"Not everyone in the area is happy about the 75-day proposal, with local residents expressing concerns over the impact of extended festival activities."
"All Points East boasts headliners Lorde and Twenty One Pilots, while LIDO has bagged Maribou State, Bombay Bicycle Club and CMAT."
AEG, the organizer of All Points East and LIDO, has requested to extend its park takeover from 28 to 75 days. This extension aims to facilitate the safe installation and removal of major infrastructure for the festivals. All Points East and LIDO are set to feature prominent artists in 2026, but the proposal has sparked discontent among some local residents. The request could allow AEG to hold festivals in Victoria Park until 2032, raising concerns about the impact on the community.
