The concert, which will be raising funds for Medical Aid For Palestinians and refugee support organisation Freedom From Torture, will take place at London’s EartH Theatre on 16 December 2024, will feature performances from queer punk band The Oozes and two more huge names who are due to be announced in the coming weeks.
The event will also feature speeches from Jeremy Corbyn, journalist Owen Jones, UCU general secretary Jo Grady, representatives from the original Lesbians & Gays Support The Miners group and many more.
“The Pits & Perverts 40th anniversary concert will pay tribute to the spirit of solidarity that brought together striking miners and LGBTQ+ people in the UK, and serve as a reminder that when we stand together against injustice, hate and bigotry, we can win.”
The Pits & Perverts: 40th Anniversary concert is being hosted as part of the Music For The Many campaign and will also highlight the importance and invaluable contribution of grassroots music venues and creative spaces in community organising and building unity.
