Rise: London United

last updated: Tue 3rd Nov 2015

In 2010 UpRise Anti-Racism Music Festival was born out of the ashes of the former Rise Festival which was Europe's largest anti-racist festival and it's FREE. The event is backed by the Trades Union Congress, National Assembly Against Racism and diverse community organisations.

This event was originally called Respect Festival for more on that event click here.

Boris Johnson, Mayor of London, shut down the Rise: London United Against Racism Festival after 2010.
