Variety is indeed the spice of life at Hackney's annual celebration of multiculturalism, which touches down at the Empire. This year, expect comedy (from Richard Herring and Richard Blackwood, among others), poetry, fashion, a one-man show from East End-born Steven Berkoff and contemporary moves from dance companies C-12 and East London, all performed in the hallowed music hall of this historic venue. The big draw of this fourth installment of the festival is undoubtedly the music — headliners are nutty boys Madness and rock 'n roll legend Chuck Berry, making a rare UK appearance.
