Description
International Music Day has been happening on the longest day of the year (21 June) since 1982. This is the flagship event from the Music Day UK campaign team for #MusicDay2017 and we have for the second time been invited to stage a takeover of The London Bridge City Summer Festival – which is simply in one of the most amazing locations you could possibly find in London!
We have a wonderful array of live music in The Scoop – an amphitheatre space dug into the embankment of the Thames, next to City Hall and which looks out onto Tower Bridge!
KING PUNCH
These guys are a London-based Ska-punk outfit with a passion for live shows, fast-paced skanking and man hugs. King Punch hail from London and present a rag tag collection of all they hold dear in music; a DIY spirit, punk energy, brass filled hooks and dirty guitars, all served up with a smile.
This seven-piece band are on fire at the moment and amidst their busy summer gig lineup we are lucky to have them grace the stage at The Scoop for this year's event. With a reputation for a raucous live show you can expect ska, swing, punk and a party.
Check out their energised sound over on their pages:

THE MAJESTIC
This Roots Rock Reggae five piece band was originally setup by Faada Ras in the early eighties and continue spreading good vibes and love through their music. With over 40 shows and festivals in their first year in their new formation, The Majestic are also adding 'hardest working' to their list of superlatives. Currently working on their live album, The Majestic continue to thrill audiences across the UK festival circuit.

KING SALAMI and the CUMBERLAND THREE
This is London’s greatest and most sensational Rhythm’n’Blues-Punk band. And this is a band that truly represents London, being a mongrel mix of Caribbean, France, Japan and Spain. With a repertoire influenced by many of the great songs of the ’50s and ’60s made to sound fresh and new to modern ears, you won’t be able to help but move your feet when the Cumberland Three are blasting out of your speakers.

SEEDS OF CREATION
This band were formed in the late 70s and has gone through many incarnations since. Seeds of Creation, play an intriguing blend of traditional Berber music with reggae, jazz and raw psychedelic sounds that will transport you from the east-end of London deep into the heart of the Sahara. This multicultural band create an absorbing, compulsively danceable sound, drawing on the band leader Seddik’s Berber roots. Their rich and original rmelodies and earth-grounded grooves have seen them play at all the world music festivals and venues in London.

Music Day 2017 – on June 21st the world’s largest celebration of music hits the UK
Music Day is a connected set of free public music events taking place each year on 21st June in over 100 countries and 700 cities around the world.
Music Day has been taking place in the UK since 2012 and is primarily about accessibility to free live music on at least one day of the year. It’s also about education, participation and cultural exchange and can involve all forms of music, performed in many different ways.
In other countries the idea revolves around bringing music out onto the streets and public spaces. This attitude is encouraged in the United Kingdom, though most events take place in established venues as it’s logistically easier.
Music Day events come in the shape of gigs, festivals, workshops, sing-a-longs, club nights – you name it! The proviso is that all events created for Music Day are free of charge and open to the public.
All #MusicDay2017 events are listed on an interactive map with event listings on the central website: www.musicday.org.uk
This is an annual event which takes place across the globe on 21 June, the longest day of the year and our midsummer solstice. The event is also known as Fête de la Musique, having originated in France, and the idea is simple – a celebration of music in all its forms in a variety of locations which is free of charge and fully accessible to the public.
It will be the 35th international Music Day in 2017 and the sixth consecutive year that the event takes place in the United Kingdom under the guidance of Music Day UK.
