VANT will perform across London today for #DontDoABrexit

The band will be popping up in locations across the city, to coincide with today’s US Election.

Not ones to be shy when it comes to politics, VANT have confirmed plans to play a series of pop-up shows across London today, under the rather inspired banner #DontDoABrexit.

Set to coincide with today’s US Election, the band are planning to play live across the city throughout today (Tuesday 8th November) in the hope that they can “encourage the idea of bringing important conversations back into the real world.”

They’ll be tipping off fans as to where they’ll be appearing over on their Twitter - their first appearance took place in Brixton at 1pm.

Read the band’s full statement on #DontDoABrexit - as posted on their Facebook page - below.

“Algorithms are stopping debate. We’re in a digital world where unexplainable things are happening because we only see what we want to see. The EU Referendum is an example of this. The majority of us only saw our side of the argument and for 49% of us this culminated in a strangely unexpected result which completely contradicted our news feeds. Rational decision making no longer applies to reality. Will this conundrum apply to the outcome of the US presidential campaign?

To encourage the idea of bringing important conversations back into the real world we will be playing all over London on Tuesday 8th November to coincide with the US Election. Keep checking for updates during the day to catch a performance somewhere near you!

Watch out for us and hashtag #DontDoABrexit to join the discussion on and offline. Please share and invite people to this event.

Peace & love, VANT”
