Graham Coxon And Buzzcocks For Anti-Racism Festival

Graham Coxon and the Buzzcocks will headline this year’s Rise: London United’s anti-racism festival in London.

The rockers will be joined by artists including rapper Sway, reggae band The Wailers and jazz star Roy Ayers for the annual event in Finsbury Park on 8 July.

London mayor Ken Livingstone says, “This incredibly strong and broad line-up of artists will make a great free day out for all with a strong message that our city loves its diversity.

"Now more than ever we have to stand up against racism. Racism is a dead end and music is one of the most powerful ways of demonstrating that fact.

“The Rise: London United will bring together people from every background to celebrate the diversity of the capital.”
