All proceeds from the march go toward several charities raising money for Ukrainian aid, including the UK’s Disaster Emergency Committee raising funds to send overseas.
“Stage partners & line-ups will be announced from Tuesday onwards. You’re in for a real real treat,” Save Our Scene posted on Instagram on Sunday. A full line-up will be revealed on Tuesday.
“This is a showing of love & unity for the people of Ukraine, as well as other war-torn countries,” they added. “Music is the greatest strength we have in bringing people together, so cancel your Sunday plans and spread the word!”
