Anti-Flag will be hitting the road this fall as the group announced a two-leg fall trek. The first leg is scheduled to kick off on September 14th in Grand Rapids, MI, and will run through October 14th in Vancouver. Support will come from Dog Party, Grumpster, and Oxymorrons. The second leg is set for November 2nd in Buffalo and will run through November 20th in Pittsburgh at the ANTIfest show. Support for this run will come from Bad Cop/Bad Cop and Doll Skin. Tickets are available at this location.
The group comments:
“The last time Anti-Flag embarked on a North American tour, it lasted two days before COVID-19 brought it to an end. After more than a year of challenges, hardships, and misfortune for many the world over, we are pleased to announce that we are hitting the road again. In the grand scheme of current events, this announcement is small but we also take it as an optimistic sign that life is slowly inching out of the pandemic and that gives us a cause to celebrate.”
These shows will be a celebration of the fact that we have all come through a very hard time and pay respects to those lost over the past year. They will also be a gathering place for all who believe in and support equality, human rights, and those who stand against authoritarianism and fascism. In the wake of the past year, these issues are front and center, which makes our desire to connect with friends, allies, and accomplices even greater. There is power in connectivity and knowing that you are not alone. We want everyone who believes that Black Lives Matter, that neo-fascism has no place in this society, that LGBTQ+ people are free to be who they are, that war and war profiteering is morally reprehensible, and that capitalism is fucked, to walk away from these shows feeling re-energized for the struggles ahead and to know that they are, indeed, not alone and to keep up the good fight.”
