This Saturday, Finsbury Park will be transformed into a temple of drum’n’bass. The day after, house music takes over.
Hospitality in the Park will come to north London on September 21 and then, a few hours later, the place will be given a swift makeover just in time for ABODE in the Park.
More than 12,000 revellers are expected to turn up for a day of house and techno at the one-day festival, run by one of the scene’s biggest labels.
This is everything you need to know.

It will take place within the confines of Finsbury Park, north London.
Are there any tickets left?
Yes, and they’re priced differently depending on when you want to arrive. For £39.50, you can nab a ticket that will grant entry before 2pm, but not after. Pay £55 and you can arrive any time before 6pm.
Who’s on the line-up for ABODE in the Park?
As you’d expect from a festival run by ABODE, the focus here is on house music in its various forms. Richy Ahmed, Nic Fanciulli and Ellie Cocks are the highlights on the ABODE stage. Meanwhile, Fisher will play his last UK show of 2019 on the stage he curated, joined by Matthias Tanzmann, De La Swing and others.
For a change of pace, head to Techno Warehouse, featuring the likes of Paul Ritch, Paco Osuna and Andrea Oliva.
Where’s the after party?
Fabric will be hosting the official after party, kicking off as soon as the festival has finished and running until 4am. There’s no word yet on who will be on the line-up, but expect some ABODE regulars, and possibly even some surprise special guests.
