NEO-NAZIS will descend on a Scottish town this weekend for a white power gig, according to anti-extremism experts.
Around 150 white supremacists, including a “sizeable contingent of boneheads from Germany”, will attend an event featuring big names in the neo-Nazi music in Bathgate, West Lothian, on Saturday, the charity Hope Not Hate said.
There is no word on the venue and the charity, which is passed information on such events by a team of moles, said that it believed details were being kept under wraps to prevent it from being cancelled.
Organisers were forced to call off a similar event in Bathgate in 2022 after details were made public, Hope Not Hate claimed at the time.
The venue they accused of planning to play host to neo-Nazi groups two years ago, the Midnight Breakfast Club, denied the claims and accused the charity of spreading “fake news” and “unfounded rumours”.
Hope Not Hate said the alleged event this Saturday would feature Ken McKellan of the neo-Nazi and Rock Against Communism band Brutal Attack, whose songs included “Rivers Of Blood” and “White Pride/White Passion”.
Also said to be on the line up are Brad Hollamby of the band Bulldog Breed, whose albums are banned from being sold on the record collectors’ site Discogs and Benny Bullman from the band Whitelaw, whose album Echoes from the Past features British Union of Fascists leader Oswald Mosely on its album artwork.
A “surprise” act from Germany will also be revealed, Hope Not Hate said.
The National understands that police are aware of the allegations and looking into them.
