Four Tet has announced an all-day event set to take place at London’s Finsbury Park later this year.In partnership with London promoter Krankbrother, the DJ/producer (real name Kieran Hebden) will play a five-hour set at the open air event on Saturday, August 13, marking his only extended festival appearance of the summer.According to DJ Mag, a second stage will also feature at the event, with guest performers still to be confirmed.Attendees are promised the location of “a beautiful tree-lined carriageway within Finsbury Park”, with natural wines and craft beers available.

A compulsory £1 donation from tickets will go to local environmental charities.In keeping with the environmental approach, single-use plastics will be banned, site deliveries kept to a minimum, and tree planting projects will be undertaken by the team involved.Tickets are on sale now – get them here.A post shared by Four Tet (@fourtetkieran)Earlier this month, Four Tet‘s albums released under Domino returned to streaming platforms as news broke that he has inked a new publishing deal with Universal.The producer and DJ signed with Domino in 2001 for the release of his second album ‘Pause’ before going on to release ‘Rounds’ (2003), ‘Everything Ecstatic’ (2005) and ‘There Is Love In You’ (2010) on the label.But last November Four Tet revealed that Domino had removed three of those albums (‘Pause’, ‘Rounds’ and ‘Everything Ecstatic’) in a bid to stop a legal case that he launched last August over historic downloads/streaming royalty rates.In that ongoing lawsuit, Four Tet claims that the label is in breach of contract over its 18 per cent royalty rate, which Domino applied to record sales, and that a “reasonable” rate of 50 per cent should have been given.
