    The Academy
    Friday 30th March


    After playing a number of celebrated dates around the UK in December the Justice Tonight Tour has announced an Irish date at The Academy on Friday 30th March. The Justice Tonight Tour will feature Mick Jones (The Clash/Big Audio Dynamite) with Pete Wylie & The Farm, they will be joined by some very special guests on the night. The tour is in aid of the Hillsborough Justice Campaign. Tickets €25.00 including booking fee, on sale this Friday 23rd at 9am.
    For Mick Jones this will be the first time he has toured performing Clash songs since 1982 and says:
    “I’m totally honored to be part of something so meaningful and I hope that we can do some good”
    Every gig should have a reason and these shows are about getting Justice for the families, survivors and supporters of the 96 people who died at Sheffield Wednesday’s Hillsborough football ground on 15th April 1989.
    The Hillsborough Justice Campaign continues to fight for justice for the victims of the disaster and for the truth to be established. Everyone volunteers their time and skills for free. As well as challenging the official version of events, the group also helps survivors of the disaster, many of whom have suffered long term psychological damage.

    The HJC has operated in the face of great adversity for years and has had to utilise new technology to promote the campaign in the face of a hostile media. It is the view of the HJC that the Hillsborough Disaster and subsequent cover up is a miscarriage of justice. Human and civil rights were denied in the aftermath of the disaster. It is for this reason that the HJC is pleased to support the concerts which aim to promote the broader issue of justice in a society where rights are increasingly being eroded.

    Don’t miss this very special show on Friday 30th March at The Academy. Tickets €25.00 including booking fee, on sale Friday 24th February at 9am.

    Have to say thought this was fairly boring last night - good turn-out, good cause, crap gig.
