Pittsburgh political punk band Anti-Flag announce vital UK and European tour dates for January 2020.
"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."
