Turn Up!,creative director Nicole Raquel Dennis said: “TURN UP! is something that we’ve needed in London for a long time. Black voices need to be heard and celebrated now and forever. Hopefully this will be the start of many more celebrations to come.”

Fellow Turn Up! creative director Ryan Carter added: “We’ve seen a much-needed sense of change sweeping across our industry in recent weeks, and with that comes a wave of excitement that real change is coming. We’re taking ownership of how our voices are used, and most importantly, who they are used for. This is an event with Black people leading the creative direction and production of the show. The age of Black performers only being invited for their vocal riff or niche casting is over, and I for one couldn’t be more excited about it!”

Club 11 London said: “We are working to guidelines to create a safe way for performers, musicians and crew to attend Cadogan Hall and perform their chosen songs on stage with an empty auditorium. Cadogan Hall and Club 11 London are fully aware of our commitments to keep all cast and crew safe and socially distanced, and are proud to come together to support the Black Lives Matter movement and these four vitally important charities.”

The full line up includes: Rachel Adedeji, David Albury, Kelly Agbowu, Melanie La Barrie, Jeannette Bayardelle, Arun Blair-Mangat, Tarinn Callender, Ryan Carter, Sharon D. Clarke, Marcus Collins, Chloë Davies, Nicole Raquel Dennis, Noma Dumezweni, Brenda Edwards, Johnnie Fiori, Vanessa Fisher, Danielle Fiyamanya, Alexandra Grey, Adrian Hansel, Zaris-Angel Hator, Cooper Howell, Ashlee Irish, Aisha Jawando, Rachel John, Brittney Johnson, Rahne Jones, Cameron  Bernard Jones, Claudia Kariuki, Natalie Kassanga, Alexia Khadime, Kwame Kewi-Armah, Aaron Lee Lambert, Norm Lewis, Vula Malinga, Sandra Marvin, Brandi Chavonne Massey, Rhianne-Louise Mccaulsky, Cedric Neal, Billy Nevers, Trevor Dion Nicholas, Jay Perry, Joe Aaron Reid, Ciara Renée, Sharon Rose, Clive Rowe, Jordan Shaw, Tanisha Spring, Danielle Steers, Vinegar Strokes, Shaq Taylor, Obioma Ugoala, Cherelle Williams, Layton Williams, Natasha Yvette Williams.
