Stereophonics at Finsbury Park: start time, tickets, potential setlist and what you need to know for London show
Whether you're popping along as a diehard fan or just someone who really loves 'Have a Nice Day', here's everything you need to know ahead of the Finsbury Park show.
When are Stereophonics playing London's Finsbury Park?
Stereophonics are performing at Finsbury Park this Friday, July 4 as part of their ongoing 2025 UK tour. This is their only London stop and it promises to be a big one – the band's first major outdoor headline show in the capital since their 2019 performance at Hyde Park.
What time do doors open?
Doors will open at 3pm, giving you plenty of time to get a drink and nab a good spot.
What time will Stereophonics come on stage?
Stage times haven't been officially confirmed, but based on previous shows, expect Stereophonics to hit the stage around 8.20pm.
Festival map
Here's an idea of how Finsbury Park will be laid out for the event. You can expect the usual festival layout, with multiple food and drink stalls, toilet areas, water points and accessible areas for those who need them.
Who's supporting Stereophonics?
Getting the crowd nice and warm before the main event will be indie favourites Blossoms, as well as Middlesbrough-born singer-songwriter Finn Forster. Again, set times haven't been officially announced - but based on previous gigs, the running order will likely look something like this:
Finn Forster – 5.20pm
Blossoms – 6.30pm
Setlist
While setlists can vary, the band have been playing a consistent mix of fan favourites and deeper cuts throughout the tour. Here's what they've been performing recently:
Vegas Two Times
I Wanna Get Lost With You
Do Ya Feel My Love
Have a Nice Day
There's Always Gonna Be Something

Can you still get tickets?
The show is officially sold out, but it seems like there's a limited number of verified resale tickets still available on Ticketmaster, starting at around £49. Move fast if you're planning a last-minute trip down memory lane.
What's Finsbury Park's bag policy?
Leave your massive rucksack at home. Only small bags (A4 size: W21cm x H30cm x D8cm) are allowed into the site. There are no cloakroom or storage facilities for larger bags (though there's safe storage for smaller ones), and anything left outside will be disposed of. All bags will be searched on entry, and you're also likely to be subject to pat-downs and metal detector checks.
Banned items
To speed up security checks and avoid having your stuff binned, here's what not to bring:
Alcohol
Glass bottles
Any drinks (you can bring empty bottles to fill inside)
Large umbrellas (you won't need them, I promise)
Professional cameras or audio equipment
Items that could be considered weapons
Unrecognisable medication (unless you have a prescription or doctor's note)
You can bring:
Snacks for personal consumption
Empty plastic bottles or metal water bottles
Personal (non-pro camera) photography gear
Medication with proof of prescription
A cheery disposition
Weather Forecast
This mini heatwave we're all complaining about looks set to continue, with the Met Office and BBC predicting highs of 27C. Pack your SPF, a cap, and of course your Handbags and Gladrags.

Ryan Reynolds left in no doubt as James McClean gets honest about Wrexham role
Ryan Reynolds left in no doubt as James McClean gets honest about Wrexham role Wrexham have won three promotions in a row to reach the Championship and skipper James McClean has opened up on the impact of Hollywood co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney James McClean has praised Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney for their impact at Wrexham (Image: Robbie Jay Barratt - AMA/Getty Images ) Wrexham captain James McClean has hailed the extent of involvement by co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney in operating the club. The Hollywood duo have rejuvenated the Welsh side since taking over more than four years ago. Wrexham have secured three consecutive promotions under the guidance of manager Phil Parkinson, catapulting them from the National League to the Championship. Former Republic of Ireland international McClean has been instrumental in their ascent, contributing significantly to their recent triumphs in League One and League Two. And the 36-year-old wing-back has commended Reynolds and McElhenney for not meddling with team affairs. The celebrity pair contribute hugely in other areas, helping to enhance the club's profile through the 'Welcome to Wrexham' documentary, offering guidance to the squad, and making shrewd business moves to boost funds. McClean has now given credit to the actors for entrusting football-related choices to Parkinson and his coaching team. He spoke highly of his experience at the club so far, saying it has made him want to carry on playing for as long as possible. "It's class and I've found a place where I'm appreciated," McClean told the Irish News. "People have got a lot of respect for me and when that's the case, obviously I'll go above and beyond to repay that. Article continues below McClean has played a key role in Wrexham's recent promotions (Image: Robbie Jay Barratt - AMA via Getty ) "It has given me a new lease to life, I'm enjoying my football and I feel like I can do this for a long time yet. Rob and Ryan are 100 per cent part of it, but they are very clever men. They are part of it to a certain extent. "They obviously don't get involved with team affairs, they leave that to the managers, but to have owners involved as they are in the right way, it's class. There are no words to describe the impact that they've had and the praise they deserve, because it's absolutely above and beyond." Wrexham are currently gearing up to compete in the Championship after a 43-year absence. Parkinson has strengthened his squad for the challenge ahead, enlisting Plymouth forward Ryan Hardie and Leicester goalkeeper Danny Ward, with more signings anticipated.

And McClean is feeling confident after issuing a note of caution against underestimating the club's chances of reaching the Premier League for the first time in their history.

McClean added: "We we told two in a row would have been tough, three in a row would be impossible and four in a row is just non-existent and it won't happen. We've done the previous ones, so I wouldn't put it past us doing the unthinkable."

Alex Jones names The One Show co-host who 'taught her everything'
Alex Jones names The One Show co-host who 'taught her everything' Carmarthenshire's Alex Jones was thrown in the deep end soon after taking up the reins of The One Show, after Jason Manford's sudden departure, but one BBC colleague helped her through Alex underwent a massive makeover ahead for her first One Show appearance (Image: Karwai Tang, WireImagevia Getty Images ) Welsh TV star Alex Jones has told the story of how she came to present The One Show, and credits the BBC show's Friday presenter, Chris Evans, with teaching her "everything" she needed to know about anchoring a live television programme. Speaking to Mark Wogan on his Spooning podcast, Alex explained that she had initially been contacted by The One Show producers in 2010, after then-hosts Adrian Chiles and Christine Lampard had both decided to quit. She explained that, at first, she hadn't taken the phone call about the job very seriously, not realising that she had been shortlisted as a potential presenter. She was joined for her initial One Show run by Jason Manford, with Chris Evans filling in on Fridays (Image: John Phillips, UK Press via Getty Images ) Assuming that the BBC wanted her to just report on a few segments, she turned them down, explaining that she was "too busy" with other work: "I was doing a surfing programme, a poker programme, a holiday programme, a fashion programme, and just in general, like, a bit of a chat show as well on BBC Wales. So I was quite busy, and I thought they meant to be a reporter." However, when the voice on the other end of the phone informed Alex she was being considered as a potential presenter, she decided that it was someone "winding her up," and put the phone down. Article continues below It was only later that she was persuaded the offer was genuine: "We did six weeks of auditions with various people. And ultimately myself and Jason Manford got the job." Alex enjoyed an easy on-screen rapport with Chris (Image: Eamonn McCormack, WireImagevia Getty Images ) Alex had a makeover, involving a haircut and complete wardrobe rethink to make her look less like a surfer chick and more like a tea-time presenter, and began her brief on-screen partnership with Jason. She recalled how she and Jason were booked into a posh London hotel at first, with neither of them having a permanent residence in London at the time: "Jason and I didn't know anybody in London when we came, so we were like two students ... "We lived in this hotel in Sloane Square, which was so weird. And I remember that shepherd's pie was £37, and we couldn't believe how expensive it was. We were living this funny life where we didn't know anybody. She credits Chris with teaching her 'everything' about live TV (Image: Simon James, GC Imagesvia Getty Images ) Article continues below "And after each show, we'd go to the cinema like two kids, because we didn't know anybody who were far away from our families. And then we'd eat this expensive shepherd's pie and complain to the BBC that it was £37 pounds, and why aren't you giving us any expenses?" But it was her rapport with Jason's Friday afternoon stand-in, Chris Evans that really helped her find her feet, she says: "I still have a real soft spot for him. And he, actually, was the one that taught me everything I know." After Jason left the show, Chris made it his business to help Alex feel at home in the new London media world she had found herself in: "We just got on like a house on fire and had the best time. And just every Friday, we'd go out after the show. That's when I sort of settled into London, I think," she recalled.
