Biffy Clyro are set to play a huge outdoor show in London this Friday (July 3) – check out the full stage timings below.
The Scottish band will headline the capital’s Finsbury Park in support of their 10th and latest album, ‘Futique’, which was released last autumn.

In a previous statement about their return to London, the trio said: “Finsbury fuckin’ Park – see you in July. This is going to be so special, don’t miss it…”
Biffy Clyro also spoke to NME about how they had “put together a fucking unbelievable bill” for the show. “We’re lucky that a lot of people wanted to play, but we wanted to lean into British rock bands and be proud of where we come from,” frontman Neil explained. “Nothing But Thieves, Marmozets, Don Broco, it’s dynamite.
“Sometimes we put a bill together and it’s pointed. ‘I want people to learn about this band!’ Magic will happen.”
He added: “It’s fucking exciting. London matters a lot to us. We really love our time here. There’s been a bit of a liberation for us playing over the last five years. Plus Finsbury has such a massive history.”
Biffy Clyro embarked on a UK and Ireland arena tour at the start of this year, and played a big slot on Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage last summer.
In a four-star review of ‘Futique’, NME wrote: “Biffy Clyro have delivered one of their most personal and definitive records to date. There’s a vulnerability met with a forward motion; a feeling of three friends shining light through the cracks to find a renewed sense of purpose.
“You can holler ”Mon the Biff!’ for a while longer, it seems. A little love and a lot of noise goes a long way.”
