United by Sound: Unite Against the Far Right

United by Sound is a powerful night of live music and spoken word, bringing people together to stand up to racism and exclusion.

Presented by Newham Stand Up To Racism, this grassroots, community-led event celebrates creativity, diversity and solidarity in East London. Through poetry, spoken word and music, we unite against the far right and stand for inclusion, compassion and community.

The night features an exciting mix of spoken word poets, rock & indie covers, and reggae, dancehall and jungle, showcasing local artists and community voices.

This is a free event, with solidarity donation tickets available and donations welcome on the door. All proceeds help support ongoing anti-racist and community organising work in Newham.

Everyone is welcome.
