The Music Is Ours

There's been a massive injection of cultural investment into the area around Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park recently, with the triumphant openings of V&A East and Sadler's Wells East creating a new destination for arts fans. If you haven't got down there yet, why not pair your visit with a free gig?

This weekend, free weekender The Music Is Ours will lay on music acts across two outdoor stages, to tie in with new arts festival The Music Is Black. On Saturday, grime artist Footsie will curated a line-up of DJs, MCs and rappers pulled from the worlds of ska, alternative R&B, reggae, including King Original and Supa D. Then, Sunday's Waterfront Stage will be curated by YolanDa Brown OBE DL and Soul Mama, with an eye to creating an intergenerational line-up of soul talent, while the Mid Terrace will platform DJs, including Tinchy Stryder in conversation with DJ Target.
