Festival Against the Nazi's

Manchester Against Racism | 04.04.2004 20:16 | Anti-racism

Manchester’s multi-cultural best are coming together in late April to unite the city against racism and stop the rise of the fascist BNP.

The music and cultural sub-group of Manchester Against Racism / Unite against Fascism (MAR) has organised a week-long festival of events at venues across Manchester culminating in a performance by all-star urban artists on an open-air stage as the centre-piece of the Futuresonic04 festival.

The festival will cater for a wide range of tastes, with events ranging from a Blood & Fire reggae and dancehall night to an evening of Love Poetry Hate Racism at Stockport’s Blue Cat Café.

The aims of the festival are to promote the anti-racist cause and to mobilise people in the North West to use their vote in the local and European elections on the 10th June this year. A high voter turnout is critical in stopping the BNP from making electoral inroads in Manchester and the North West. Together we can defeat the BNP’s message of division and hatred.

The line-up of the Festival Against the Nazis confirmed so far is:
