Rise against racism this weekend features Kelis, The Holloways and Jamelia
Where can you see Kelis, The Holloways and Jamelia for free? Rise Against Racism, which takes place this Sunday (15th July) in Finsbury Park, London.
It’s quite a coup for the festival organisers to book Kelis - after all, Jamelia’s milkshakes don’t bring quite so many boys to the yard, do they? Because, guess what, Kelis’s are better than yours …
All jokes aside, last year’s festival drew 100,000 people and with a varied line-up including The Noisettes, St. Etienne and the confusingly-named, non-bearded beatboxer Beardyman, the festival looks to have the same success again this year.
Aside from the big name acts, there are seven other stages, including Bill Bailey and Richard Blackwood on the comedy stage. Oh, and if you’d like to see rapper Sway face off with a belly dancer, catch the Dagenham Town show between 4pm and 8pm the previous day (Saturday 14th July).
Gates open at Finsbury Park around 12pm, and get there early - Kelis is on at 5.15pm, late-diva-strops permitting.
