Slaves and Catfish & The Bottlemen to headline London's Community Festival

Slaves and Catfish & The Bottlemen have been announced to headline a brand new London Festival.

The English punk duo and indie rockers will be joined by The Wombats, The Hunna and Darlia at Community on Saturday July 1, in what has been hailed as a “one day celebration of the best in new music”.

Fickele Friends and Red Faces complete the lineup for the music extravaganza which is set to take place in Finsbury Park.

The huge north-London green space is famous for hosting big name festivals such as Wireless, Rise, Trans-Mission and The Fleadh as well as concerts from the like of Arctic Monkeys, Stone Roses and KISS and organisers Festival Republic are delighted to make the park the new home for Community.

Festival Replublic’s Melvin Benn said: “Finsbury Park has been a real hub for live music for many decades, so we can’t think of anywhere better to launch a new music festival in London.”

Speaking earlier this month about their busy festival schedul this year, Slaves told NME: “It’s a dream come true.

“We just approach every show the same. We just go out and have fun – it’s just all the same to us.”

Tickets are on sale now for Community Festival and are available here.
