Tens of thousands of avid clubbers from across the UK descended upon the English capital yesterday (Sunday 27th June 2021), to attend and endorse the 'Freedom To Dance' city rave and demonstration.

Organised by UK pressure group, Save Our Scene, in opposition to the government's current stance on the return of clubs and venues across Britain, and the glaringly obvious neglect of the entire music industry, the day-long event saw huge numbers of dance fans coming together to be a part of what has been described as “the largest demonstration the music industry has ever seen”.

Propping up picket signs, the crowds marched down Regent Street and past Trafalgar Square, before arriving outside the Houses of Parliament, whilst a long list of popular dancefloor igniters and seasoned club hero's performed huge dance anthems out of adapted vans and lorry's equipped with hefty sound systems. 

Amongst some of the many respected industry names who gave their support on the day were the likes of techno legend Alan Fitzpatrick, Hannah Wants, Franky Wah, Jess Bays, Max ChapmanEats Everything, SOSA, The Shapeshifters, Eli Brown, Low Steppa and Seb Zito to name a few. 

Offering our full support, we also attended the mass protest and all-out, carnivalesque dance gathering. Check out some of the best snaps we took at the event below...
