London's biggest free, open-air music extravaganza is a crowd-puller every year. It's not just the entertainment scene that attracts folks, but also the fact that the event celebrates multiculturalism and takes a stand against racism. The best in the music industry come here to perform before crazed fans of all ages. Famed hip-hop artistes like De La Soul and Public Enemy and reggae idols like Gregory Isaacs and other acts often put in an appearance. Sustenance in the form of refreshments keeps the buzz alive, while a comedy pavilion keeps the kids occupied. Check the Web site for details and head over early; crowds of more than 100,000 are anticipated each year.
