About this event
BRIC and The Action Lab hand the bandshell to Common and guests for a night honouring Harry Belafonte's activism as much as his music. Expect spoken word alongside the hip-hop, and a programme that treats the civil rights lineage as living material rather than nostalgia. A headline-scale artist on a free stage named for Lena Horne.
Why we picked it
Common headlining a free tribute to Belafonte, at a bandshell named after Lena Horne, is hard to better.
