In related news, Ken Livingstone has announced that this weekend's Rise festival is to be reinvented in light of last week's bomb blasts. The anti-racism concert in London's Burgess Park - already a very multi-cultural event - will be named London United, in a bid to show the capital as a proudly multi-cultural city.
Livingstone explained: "The bombings that took place last week indiscriminately attacked Londoners irrespective of race, culture, religion or age. London is the future. This free gig will show that London stands firm and celebrates its status as a city of all races, faiths and cultures, the very thing the bombers hate".
As well as the existing line up, which included Goldie Looking Chain, Terri Walker and The Mitchell Brothers, a number of other headline acts will now appear at the event, including Billy Bragg, Suggs and Jarvis Cocker.
Confirming his support for the event, Suggs told reporters: "We love London because London lets you be yourself. On Saturday at 'London United' we will show that London stands firm in all its diversity after the terrible events of last week."
Jarvis Cocker added: "At this time it's important for people from all backgrounds to stand together - it's also important for them to enjoy themselves. This event allows them to do both."
