Luke Dorman of Down the Lanes events explained why this event is supporting RISE:
"I have been incredibly moved by the current movement of female, trans and non-binary punk artists around at the moment. I noticed that so often the main link between these bands was their frustration at a society filled with abuse and inequality. It then became clear that I could bring together some fantastic artists and do a little bit to address these issues. RISE are a fantastic charity and the fact that they are close to home meant there was no other choice in my mind."
This event is going to be the perfect mix of great music and a great cause - see you there? Get your tickets here.
