World record breaking music marathon this Sunday!

Everyone’s invited to their local bandstand this Sunday afternoon to celebrate the last day of the Paralympic Games. 

Bandstands across the city will come to life on Sunday 9 September for the biggest bandstand concert this city has ever seen. As part of the Showtime Festival finale, enjoy an afternoon of live music, bands and choirs. At 2pm, Viva La Vida by Coldplay will be played simultaneously at all bandstands.

There will be fantastic free live music performances all afternoon. Visitors to Broomfield Park, Palmers Green can expect the Afro-Caribbean beats of The Harambe Drummer, while Regent’s Park will host a festival of Jewish music.

There will be much more happening across London. So pack a picnic, meet up with family, friends and neighbours and head down to your local bandstand for a world record breaking music marathon!
