Anti-Flag have announced a UK tour.
The legendary punks will head to Brighton’s Chalk, the O2 Academy Islington in London, Manchester Club Academy, Birmingham’s Mill, Glasgow Garage, Leeds' Key Club and the Globe in Cardiff between February 2 and 9, 2020 after a run in Europe. Tickets go on sale at 10am on October 4.
The Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania band’s last album was August's ‘Live, Vol. 2’, and they also have North American dates lined up for the end for 2019. Anti-Flag said:
“We need these shows. We need this tour. We need to set the pace for the work that lies ahead in 2020. Our individual strength, optimism and hope comes directly from the interactions and exchanges we have at shows like these. It is a space where individual energy transforms to collective energy and power is born.
We cannot wait to unveil our new record. New songs are our bridge to reach out, reconnect, energize and organize. An opportunity to put names to faces, city to city, town to town. We are living in a time where minorities are being increasingly marginalized and cast out of society, where their mere existence has become an illegality. Those victimized by the current administration need much more than allies, they need accomplices. We can no longer be shocked or distracted by defeat. Now is the time to remind each other that we are not alone and together we can beat back injustice.
We hope that this collection of songs, the congregation of folks around the shows, will all serve as tools of solidarity in the face of oppression and empire - solidarity with the poor, the marginalized and the scapegoated who are all catching hell.
Sometimes people say “enough” and a riot echoes forever.”
