I've been trying to find out some line up details for this year's festival. It's less than a month to go now and I have no idea of who is playing. I know it has been moved to Finsbury Park but that is about all.
Any know?

Is this the same festival that I've seen advertised at Victoria Park with Toots and Dennis Alcapone?

The Respect Festival (as it was called before Galloway started his party of the same name) has been at Vicky Park in the past but this year's is supposed to be at Finsbury Park. I would be very interested to know what info you have on the one with Toots and Dennis as I could go to London and stay with a friend who lives 5 minutes from Vicky Park.

I'll have a look at the poster more closely next time I'm down the Tube. It looks like a massive event with all sorts of bands playing all sorts of music. I think there might be a circus and other stuff. Hope its not a washout like Penny's recent experience.

Good call.
I will try not to miss this.
Is it family-friendly do you know or is it mental?

last year, and previous years as respect, it was rammed at times, but never so mental that you can't find a quiet spot - it's a pretty big park. Don't think you'd have any problems with kids. Though I don't know your kids of course...

Yes, I think it was held in Victoria Park as Respect Festival until 2004. I remember seeing Luciano & Mikey General there at least in 1997. Then in 2005 it was held in the Burgess Park in South London just after 2005 bombings, and it was renamed Rise: London United. Last year I wasn't there, but I think it was held in Finsbury Park already. Theys eem to have some interesting names there every year...
