LOVE MUSIC HATE RACISM
?The Anti-Fascist Gig The Secret Policemen Couldn?t Stop?
STOP PRESS: CHANGE OF VENUE
EVENT WILL NOW BE HELD AT:
Liverpool Academy Sunday 30 May 2004, 6pm-11pm
Originally planned for a Manchester venue the ?Love Music Hate Racism? festival has had to change cities at the last moment and will now be staged at the Liverpool Academy. Manchester Police refused to give the event a license, however thanks to our friends on the Mersey the event will be going ahead with the line up, the date and free admission remain the same.
Join us in Liverpool on Sunday May 30 for a fantastic day of music and unity, and help send out a message loud and clear that the racism of the fascist British National Party is not welcome in the North West
- or anywhere else.
A spectacular bill featuring the cream of northern musical talent will entertain and encourage everybody to do what they can to stop the election of BNP leader Nick Griffin as the North West’s Euro MP.
There’ll be full headlining sets from Leeds’ majestic THE MUSIC and Manchester songsmith BADLY DRAWN BOY as well as sets from guitar anthem merchants HAVEN, Brit rap legends RODNEY P & SKITZ and London’s hippest punk-funkers BLOC PARTY.
Entry to the event will be on the basis of first through the door, up to the venue?s capacity of 2,600. Organisers have therefore arranged for 400 tickets, which guarantee entry to the event, to be made available to the people of Manchester. The tickets will include transport to and from the event with coaches departing from Manchester city centre at 4pm. Tickets can be obtained by ringing 07904816863 from 12noon on Wednesday 26th May. Tickets will be issued on a first come first serve basis and will be limited to two tickets per caller.
The event is completely FREE to enter, but people will be required to contribute towards the cost of the transport.
The Liverpool concert will be followed by a huge open air festival in Finsbury Park, London, on Sunday 6th June, headed by The Libertines and David Gray. This is designed to stop the BNP getting a seat on the Greater London Authority elections.
As well as being a celebration of our multiracial and multicultural music and society, the event will form a major part of Unite Against Fascism’s campaign in the North West and beyond around the local and
European elections on June 10th. BNP leader Nick Griffin, who has a conviction for Holocaust denial and whose stated aim is “an all-white society”, is standing in the North West Euro-seat.

Unite Against Fascism (www.uaf.org.uk ) is bringing together all anti-racist groups and everyone who opposes the BNP in the UK. A campaign of mass leafleting, petitioning and public
meetings is calling for people to use their vote, and actively stop the BNP from gaining ground on June 10.
With the PR voting systems that apply in these elections, and a probable low turnout, the BNP need poll only 10% in the Euro seat to get elected. That would mean a platform in Brussels to spread their
racist poison, ?100,000s in funding, and the thing they crave above all – a suited-and-booted mask of respectability to hide the skinhead haircut and bovver boot image of old.
What we all do now to stop the BNP can make a real difference to whether they succeed or fail. Music unites us, but racism divides. Come to Liverpool on May 30 to show you Love Music and Hate Racism. Let’s Unite Against Fascism!
