The Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park hosts 2014’ s Holi-inspired Festival of Colours and looks set to help revivify the feel-good vibe that permeated east London during the 2012 London Games. What you get is live bands and DJs plus booze plus licence to pelt your mates and complete strangers with coloured powder. Last year’s event took place at Battersea Power station – another great venue, but as the organisers point out, there the fun took place on concrete while at The Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park there will be soft green grass underfoot. They don’t really need to sell the event at all: more than three quarters of the tickets were gone within the first hour of going on sale. There are still some left , though, with various packages available, from basic entry to tickets including T-shirts and packs of powdered colour. Attendees must be over 18. It will be on Sturday June 28 at 12 am.
