Fulham Football Club has announced a public consultation to share updates on its Fulham Pier development and to present new proposals for hosting live music concerts at Craven Cottage. The club is considering holding up to six concerts per year inside the stadium, restricted to the football off-season months of June and July. The club says that these events would be carefully managed to minimise disruption to the local community.
The consultation will begin with a public exhibition on Tuesday 30 September. Members of the public are invited to drop in at any time between 2pm and 7pm at the Media Office, located next to the Johnny Haynes statue at Craven Cottage, Stevenage Road, SW6 6HH. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet the project team, learn more about the proposals, and share their views.
This exhibition marks the start of a two-week consultation period, which will run until Tuesday 14 October. During this time, the club’s website will be updated with full details of the proposals and will include an online feedback form for those unable to attend in person.
The proposal to host concerts follows recent changes to the licensing arrangements for the Riverside Stand. Hammersmith and Fulham Council approved three out of four licensing variations, allowing Fulham FC to host performances—including music and plays—for audiences exceeding 500 people until 11pm, seven days a week. These changes were made despite objections from some local residents, who raised concerns about noise and disruption. The club has stated that it will take its responsibilities as a good neighbour seriously and will implement measures to manage noise and antisocial behaviour.
Craven Cottage has not previously hosted large-scale live music events. While music can be played under existing exemptions for audiences under 500 people before 11pm, the current proposal would formalise and expand the stadium’s capacity for concerts. The concerts are part of a broader transformation of the stadium and its surroundings, including the development of Fulham Pier—a new riverside destination for leisure, dining, and community events.
