What the Actual Fuck.’ Fest” is an all-day benefit for humanitarian aid, drawing together alternative bands against fascism and genocide in all its forms, with all proceeds going to organisations working on the ground providing humanitarian aid in Gaza and Ukraine through MAP and United24. Featuring ten awesome bands from 2pm-10pm at The Banshee Labyrinth.

Named from the heart, the festival is for everyone struggling to come to terms with the atrocities happening across the globe. The day will be a celebration of the power of community, music, and the drive of resistance using whatever platforms we have available to us. It’s a space to make connections, bring people together, and hopefully provide inspiration and a springboard for further community action.

The ten incredible bands donating their time and skills are:

Harbingers Drum Crew
Jeanice Lee
We're Not Scared of Robots
Element 95
Paper Rifles
Crocodile Tears
Oh, Rain
Sullen Kink (acoustic)
Arms & Hearts
Toy Hospital

Suggested donation of £15 per ticket
