0161 Festival is an anti-fascist benefit festival run in Manchester, United Kingdom. It was set up to raise money for anti-fascist and anti-racist activities both throughout the U.K. and abroad. Recent history has shown us where hate can lead: from violent disturbances in Greece and many other countries suffering economic difficulties, to physical abuse on the streets of the U.K. in 2019.

It is more important than ever to stand united together against the hate and vitriol that is sweeping across Europe. With a huge variety of music, art, films, sport and more, there is something for everyone. We want to show that regardless of the music you like, or where you come from, or what you are into, that we are all united under the anti-fascist banner.
