An enormous new site is being purchased to be the home a music festival.

Sited at the old gas works near the Tottenham marshes, a twin-linked warehouse will be able to fit around 7,500 people and be the new home of the Field Day music festival.

Over the past decade, Field Day has been based out of Victoria Park and moved to Brockwell Park in Brixton last year.

Run by music event agency, Broadwick Venues, managing director, Bradley Thompson says the move will regenerate the capital’s music scene.

Mr Thompson said: "Broadwick Venues are extremely excited and proud to be embarking on a new and exciting journey and hosting one of our own festivals.

“There couldn't be a more important time to focus on and replenish London's music and nightlife culture, and the venue truly allows us to break the boundaries on what metropolitan festivals should be."

The Field Day venue will be a short walk from the new Meridian Water station which will be open from May 2019, it will allow travel from Liverpool Street in 24 minutes and Stratford in 17 minutes.

Councillor Nesil Caliskan, Leader of Enfield Council says the move will be a contribution to the council’s £6 billion regeneration of the borough.

The scheme, the council says, will bring 10,000 homes and thousands of jobs to the area.

Cllr Caliskan said: “Meridian Water will be a truly vibrant neighbourhood and new destination to enjoy nightlife, music, theatre, cinema and much more, all year round.

“Bringing the sheds back into use to deliver high quality leisure, arts and cultural facilities and events is part of our drive to bring life and activity into the area and create a new 24-hour London destination.

“It also reflects the council’s commitment to pursue meanwhile use for some sites on Meridian Water so that we generate income for the council.”
