Rise: London United will be a free event, taking place in London's Finsbury Park on 8th July.

Mayor Ken Livingstone said: "There will be no concessions to racism in London - London is a successful city because it is diverse and open and we will fight for that diversity with every breath because it is our city's lifeblood.

"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. 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".

More acts are expected to be announced shortly, including stages for Latin American, African and Asian music.
