Members of The Wombats, Disclosure, Pumarosa, and Mystery Jets are among the acts who have performed at London’s Extinction Rebellion protests this week.
The climate change activist group set up camps across the capital on Monday (October 7) and have continued to protest throughout the week. They plan on remaining in central London for a total of 14 days and nights in a bid to prompt Westminster to take action to reduce carbon emissions nationwide.
With pop-up performances taking place as part of the protests, a number of big names from the music world have made surprise appearances to show their support.
Earlier today (October 9), Music Declares Emergency’s Instagram uploaded an image of Electronic duo Disclosure performing in Trafalgar Square. In the snap, the ‘White Noise’ outfit are seen on the decks at the tourist hotspot beneath a white gazebo – you can see that and footage uploaded by Disclosure themselves below.
