About this Event

SPORTS BANGER and King Alpha Sound System will be tearing it up in Shoreditch on Saturday 3rd October, celebrating 90 years since the battle of Cable Street with Unite the Union. All ticket funds donated to workers on strike.

• SPORTS BANGER is an anti-establishment, bootlegging rag-tag collective with a DIY ethos - throwing raves, putting on exhibitions, making T-shirts and publishing books, while always focusing on community. Expect a stacked lineup of DJs.
• King Alpha Sound System is a serious UK sound system headed up by Ras Peter and Ras Joseph.

All over the country in 1936, Mosley's British Union of Fascists were chased off the streets by a strong, organised working class who knew that the politics of hate and division offers no solutions. At Cable Street in Whitechapel, the fascists were forced to abandon their march through the diverse and largely Jewish area - faced with thousands of local people of every background who had gathered to reject fascism and hate.

This gig marks part of a wider timetable of events to celebrate anti-fascist resistance at Cable Street - get more information via our Facebook event.
