We are saddened and overwhelmed at the horror of the violent attack on the Heaton Park Synagogue. No one should be targeted for their identity or the community they belong to. We stand against all forms of hate and continue to advocate for a society where everyone can live without fear of prejudice

It’s 18 years ago today that the attack took place in Stubbylee Park, Bacup, that took Sophie’s life 13 days later. We send love to Sophie’s family and friends and all that love her. Sophie is not just a figurehead or a banner we march behind; she was a person who should be here with us today.

What an incredible few days we've had at Download Festival 2025.
It was hot, it was dusty, and you patiently waited to get to the front of the line to see us. The whole team were blown away by how gracious and kind you all were, we can't tell you how much it means to us.
