Community Festival 2023: Full info including set times and weather

Community Festival will take over Crystal Palace Park this weekend. London’s iconic green space will host the music event this Friday (July 7).

The one-day festival will be headlined by Two Door Cinema Club, who are set to close the day of music. The Vaccines and The Wombats are also a part of the event’s 2023 lineup.

Two Door Cinema Club are no stranger to the London-based festival, having headlined the music event in 2018. The Vaccines and The Wombats have also performed at Community Festival in past years.

While the 2023 edition of the festival is in Crystal Palace Park, in past years, it has taken place at one of the capital’s other green spaces. Finsbury Park previously hosted the event before its move.

Here’s everything Community Festival attendees need to know, including set times and how to avoid post-show crowds.

How to avoid post-Community Festival 2023 crowds 

The nearest train station to the music festival is Crystal Palace, but following the end of the event, it will likely be quite busy. Luckily there are a few alternative stations that are also close to the festival grounds:

• Penge West
• Anerley
• Sydenham

All three stations offer both TFL Overground and National Rail services towards central. Festival-goers can then change to underground services depending on where they are headed.
