Islington Council licences Arsenal FC Concerts

Concerts will be allowed three times a year at Arsenal FC's home ground - but only under strict conditions.

On 5 November, Islington Council agreed the club can hold three concerts a year at the Emirates Stadium, in response to an application from Arsenal. However, the concerts will have to be held under existing tough licensing conditions including:

• noise levels must not exceed the set limits
• concerts must be finished by 10.30pm
• a dedicated noise complaint line will be set up during the concerts which residents can call if they have concerns
• Arsenal must draw up a Noise Management Plan before each concert which will be agreed with the council
