This summer, they released a statement condemning the far-right violence across the country, which was signed by many artists like Fontaines D.C., Nubya Garcia and Nova Twins, just to name a few. For 2025, they are organising gigs in areas that have been affected by far-right violence, starting right here at the Albany.
The Albany hosted Rock Against Racism gigs back in the 1970s, and one of these gigs even (allegedly) led to the building being set on fire by the National Front. With Tommy Robinson returning to London next year, the rising popularity of Nigel Farage’s reform UK and the possibility of more far-right violence, this message of unity is more important than ever.
This special event will star local legend Dave Okumu & the 7 Generations, David Mrakpor and a host of special guests.
