ROTHERHAM CARNIVAL NEXT BATCH OF TICKETS ON SALE TO LOCALS THIS WEEKEND
Just a few weeks ago the first batch of Rotherham carnival tickets sold out within just three hours, now Love Music Hate Racism is glad to announce that the next batch of tickets will go on sale to local residents in Rotherham and Sheffield. Only 1000 more tickets will be available to locals in person on Saturday 12th July in the following special box office places:
Rotherham:
Sat 12 July, 11am till 3pm,
All Saints Centre, Vicarage Lane,
Rotherham (Rotherham Minster Courtyard)
Sheffield:
Sat 12 July, 11am till 3pm,
St Matthew’s Church Rooms,
Carver Street, Sheffield.
There also very limited quantities of tickets available this weekend in BARNSLEY, CHESTERFIELD and DONCASTER - contact LMHR on 020 7801 2781 or info@lovemusichateracism.com for more information.
Tickets will cost £10 payable only in cash with more going on sale later this summer nationwide, via this website but be warned, this momentous indoor carnival is expected to sell out extremely quickly. As we have seen with the first batch of tickets there is a strong anti-fascist feeling amongst local residents, who are continually supporting Love Music Hate Racism’s efforts to smash the BNP in the north of the country.
Reverend and the Makers’ John McClure has been busy pulling together more exciting acts, including:
Reverend & the Makers
Roll Deep
The Courteeners
Mongrel featuring: The Reverend, Andy Nicholson (ex-Arctic Monkeys), Drew McConnell (Babyshambles), LowKey
Plus very special acts soon to be announced as soon as we’re permitted!
The Love Music Hate Racism carnival will take place on Saturday 6 Sept 2008, 2pm – midnight at the Magna Science Adventure Centre, Rotherham.
Rotherham MP, John Healey said: “I am pleased to back what promises to be a great event with such an important message.
“It is great to see big names in music coming to Rotherham and I hope as many local people as possible will go along, enjoy themselves and show their support.”
John McClure, The Reverend, said: “You think how music has changed in the last 50 years and we would have none of that mixture of music and culture if the likes of the BNP had their way. People seem to be wanting to vote almost as a protest, but they don’t want to get into the hands of the BNP. So we thought rather than do the event in Sheffield we would do it in Rotherham and say to these people ‘We don’t want you here, we don’t want your fascist s**t.”
