About this event

Alexisonfire and Billy Talent have partnered with PLUS1 so that £1 from every ticket sold goes to organizations helping children and young people access essential mental health care. A ‘Crisis of Faith’ is what the last few years have felt like while making this record. It was made while the world was facing some of the toughest obstacles we’ve ever had to endure. It’s filled with snap shots of what it means to be human and the struggles we all face both individually and collectively as people. This record was written from the heart. From the time we set out to write and record this album to now, the journey has been transformative. We welcomed new life within our camp, lost loved ones closest to us, and navigated our way through the ups and downs of a pandemic that is still ongoing. The past few years have seen us question a lot of the things we’ve been taught to believe in: our systems, our leaders, and even ourselves. We bore witness to the power of the people, worldwide protests for equality and justice, a toxic divisiveness that has grown like a cancer around the world, and a climate crisis which has reached unprecedented new urgencies. Throughout this we’ve also had our own individual struggles but the underlying message here is one of hope. Knowing that you’re not alone and that, through all of our differences, we all want the same things: love, understanding and compassion. Remember that no matter how dark it may get at times, we must find the light. Though it is difficult to see it at times, it’s there and it’s the only way out. Take care of yourselves and we can’t wait to see all of you soon. -Ben, Ian, Jonny & Aaron
