This Friday the Oasis Live ‘25 world tour will take over Wembley for the first in seven nights at the Stadium over the summer.
Sadiq Khan has said this will provide a huge economic boost to the capital, and now as an added bonus, the band are collaborating with the London Playing Fields Foundation (LPFF) to help grassroots sport.
Called 7 Shows, 7 Fields, it will celebrate and amplify the charity’s initiatives in spotlighting the unsung heroes behind making grassroots sport possible, honouring their work and the London playing fields that make it happen. Nightly themes will focus on seven different community projects spanning London’s boroughs across Waltham Forest, Redbridge, Ealing, Greenwich and Hounslow.
Facilitated by Oasis Live ‘25, London Playing Fields Foundation (LPFF) will reward hard working individuals by giving them the opportunity to experience Oasis live at Wembley Stadium, which is following their acclaimed performances in Cardiff and Manchester. The LPFF volunteers, coaches and community champions are the heartbeat of the charity - making sport possible for thousands across the capital by protecting London’s playing fields.
Established in 1890, LPFF’s mission is to create active communities by providing a place to play sport forever. The charity owns and manages several playing fields across London, which host over 200,000 people every year participating in football, cricket, rugby, and softball.
The seven nightly 7 Shows, 7 Fields themes will begin on Friday 25th July with Douglas Eyre Sports Centre, Walthamstow, awarding the LPFF Girls’ Football Hub - an innovative project aimed at helping girls new to football who might lack the confidence, technical ability and game experience, to play on a regular basis.
On Saturday 26th July Fairlop Oak Playing Field, Ilford awards the Coping Through Football project, a groundbreaking project run in partnership with the NHS (NELFT) and Leyton Orient Trust, which uses the power of football to help people with serious mental health issues to get their lives back on track.
Wednesday 30th July will spotlight London Marathon Playing Field, Redbridge, awarding the Playing Fields Champions – Bealonians FC and EC1Voices. In the last year LPFF has supported EC1Voices successfully opposing the loss of four 5-a-side pitches to a housing development and assisted Bealonians FC (a club that fields 39 teams every week) in retaining their lease on their ground.
Four further fields and community sport organisations are soon to be revealed.
