Rapper, songwriter and one of the performers at this event, Wretch 32, said: “As a musician, as an artist who commentates on what’s happening in society, this has been one of the prominent things that’s happened in our generation. I don’t think there’s a rapper in our generation who doesn’t have a record with Stephen’s name in it. It’s powerful that we’re all always trying to make sure that he’s remembered in the right way... when I was asked to do this I knew I had to grace the stage again”.

Tickets are on sale now, and the event will take place at The O2 in Greenwich, South-East London, which was Stephen Lawrence's home. For more information, visit stephenlawrenceday.org.
