“Rage Against Racism” is set to be more than a concert – it is a celebration of inclusivity and a resounding message that this country will not be divided by hate
As Ireland faces an alarming increase in racist and anti-migrant rhetoric from far-right groups, a new event is calling on all who believe in Ireland’s enduring values to take a stand.
Rage Against Racism is a call to action for every person who believes in the true spirit of Ireland – a spirit defined by kindness, solidarity, and a deep-rooted commitment to human dignity. As a country that has endured its own struggles against discrimination and exclusion, Ireland stands at a crucial moment. Now, more than ever, it is time to reaffirm our commitment to welcoming and uplifting all who call this island home.
“We are witnessing an unsettling rise in divisive, anti-migrant sentiments across our country,” says Amanda Adé, organiser of the event. “But this is not who we are as a people. Ireland has always opened its arms to those in need. Now is the time to reaffirm our commitment to the values that make us proud to be Irish.”
Unlike typical concerts, Rage Against Racism will not be selling tickets. Instead, attendees are asked to show their support through donations, which will go directly to two critical charities: DORAS and NASC Ireland. Proceeds will support these organisations in their vital work, including providing legal assistance, integration programmes, and advocacy services for migrant communities across Ireland. Whether you are attending in person or supporting from afar, your contribution will make a difference in the lives of countless individuals.

A Celebration of Solidarity Through Music
Headlining the event is Fortune Igiebor, The Vigilante Maestro, an artist known for using his music to confront social injustices and inspire change. His performance, along with other special guests, promises to be both a powerful artistic statement and a rallying cry for unity.
“This is not just a performance; it’s a protest,” says Fortune Igiebor. “Music has always been a tool for social change. It has the power to reach hearts, break down barriers, and bring people together. Rage Against Racism is an act of defiance against those who seek to divide us.”
Rage Against Racism takes place on 19 September at The Soundhouse in Dublin. Click here for more information.
