**Birmingham** band [**Kioko**](https://soundcloud.com/kiokomusicuk?ref=birminghameastside.co.uk) are the headline act of tonight's '[**Love Music Hate Racism**](http://www.lovemusichateracism.com/about-us/?ref=birminghameastside.co.uk)' (LMHR) concert tonight.

The local reggae group will play at the event at **The Crossing**, in **Digbeth**.

**Benjamin Torrens**, the bass guitarist in the band, said:

> "It's been a cause that we're all really passionate about. It's prestigious and something that everyone believes in, the message is something you can't deny."

**Torrens** added that they were honoured to be headlining the event:

> "For them (**LMHR**) to come to our last couple of shows is an honour and a privelege. But for them to ask us to headline is mad, we're so (sic) behind the movement!"

There will be live music and politics at the event, which features a plethora of local, home-grown talent.

**Sharon Campion**, the main organiser of the event, told **Birmingham Eastside** about the response they've had:

> "It's very easy to get fans on board - in fact, we've had too many people interested and we've actually had to turn some away."

Love Music Hate Racism is a campaign that was launched in 2002 and artists such as **Kasabian**, **Ms Dynamite** and **Lethal Bizzle** have all performed at their music events.

Doors open at 7PM for the event tonight. [Tickets](http://www.theticketsellers.co.uk/tickets/love-music-hate-racism-birmingham/10045209?ref=birminghameastside.co.uk) are £8 for adults.
