About this Event
Join us for Rock the Rec, our very first live music fundraiser, featuring three fantastic local bands Orchestra Fantasma, Two 5, and The Hindmost, plus DJ Wilkybar Kid!
We’re raising money to support Upper Norwood Rec, helping to nurture and protect this much-loved green space for the whole community. Every penny from your tickets will go directly towards improving the park, thanks to the wonderful team at Antenna, who have generously donated their brilliant venue for free.
Bring your friends, enjoy an epic night of music and great vibes, and be part of something special for our community. We can’t wait to see you there!

About the DJ...
The Wilkybar Kid, a.k.a Colin Wilkie-Jones has DJ'd at many local community events including Crystal Palace Festival, Friends of Upper Norwood Rec summer parties, and Rockmount Primary School summer fairs, as well as being a former resident DJ at Domali which used to hold legendary parties back in its day.
About Friends of Upper Norwood Recreation Ground...
Friends of the Rec was set up as a community group in October 2022 by a group of local volunteers who felt it was important to protect and nurture this beautiful parkland and leisure space which is loved by so many but had become neglected in recent years.
Since then the group has achieved many great things including planting over 300 young trees, 700 bulbs, and various shrubs at our monthly community volunteer days and in our team sessions. Not to mention keeping the park free of litter! The group also ran a community pond digging day last year and have put up bird and bat boxes decorated by locals which you can spot all around the Rec, along with four new benches we have supported residents to buy. A big picnic table is coming soon and we would love to continue making improvements to this wonderful space.
