R3 Soundsystem has linked up with Together Alliance, Choose Love, Amnesty International, Black Artist Database, Love Music Hate Racism and Homo-Centric Records to collaborate on the event, which aims to “tell the UK establishment to STOP THE HATE.”
It will be a part of the Together Against The Far Right National Demo, arranged by the Together Alliance, a collective of trade unionists, environmentalists, community activists, faith leaders, musicians, athletes, entertainers and elected representatives.
The three Rs in R3 Soundsystem stand for Reject (the rise of the far-right in Britain); Revolt (against racism in the UK); and Resist (corporate influence within dance music).

Speaking about the demonstration, R3 Soundsystem founder and DJ Gideön said: “As the racist far-right ratchets up their anti-immigration, anti-trans, xenophobic rhetoric, the UK’s recent participation in Israel’s genocide in Gaza has galvanised our dance music community. On March 28 we will gather in Trafalgar Square to recognise this and attempts to dismantle UK multiculturalism - we must urgently come together in resistance. Dance music has always soundtracked protest and activism. Now is the time to reboot this tradition and kick start the revolution, united as one.”
Lewis Nielsen of Stand up to Racism said: “The far-right want to bring ICE to Britain, and spread racism and hate. On Saturday, March 28 huge numbers of us will be on the streets of London with a message to them: ’We’re going to stop you.’ And we're going to do that in the best way possible - using the power of music to spread the anti-racist resistance and build unity against the far right. You don't want to miss this.”
