This is basically Bongo’s Bingo on steroids – everything from the production to the prizes to the stage to the amount of people coming to these two dates - it’s going to be insane. Back to The 80s is the theme so we are going to have wall to wall classics and sing-a-longs all night long. Sheffield is a special place for us, the crowds are always brilliantand shows sell out months ahead. There’s this insane energythere and we really can’t wait for September – it’s going to be class.”

Fashion For a Cause: Brands That Stand with Palestine and the history of fashion as a form of Activism

by Oana-Maria Moldovan For over two months, there has been an ongoing genocide war in Gaza. To simplify a long and horrific issue, the situation that started, on a larger scale, around one hundred years ago, and has only become amplified since October 7th 2023. Taking place around the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and Israel–Lebanon border, the armed conflict is between Israel and Hamas-led Palestinian militant groups. The problem is about “stolen” land. Said land is seen as an important holy part of both religions involved. But really, how holy can we consider a land to be, if people kill other people for it? It’s important to remember that this genocide is about three things: forced occupation, zionism, and religion. It’s also important to remember what ethnic erasure is.
