UK’s capital, on Saturday 22nd August, to put on an evening of

The performance will be situated in front of the unused
coal-fired power station and is set to be one of the largest events
ever to be held in the shadows of the towers.
It is expected that 17,000 people will be attending the
mind-blowing extravaganza. St John Ambulance in London
