La Haine – Live

La Haine (‘Hatred’) chronicles 24 hours in the lives of three friends from a poor suburb of Paris, where tensions are at breaking point following the death of a local man at the hands of the police. Directed by Mathieu Kassowitz, the film celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2025 – and with ADF on hand to provide a live soundtrack, it’s never sounded better.

Age 15+. Film contains scenes of violence & gore.

Asian Dub Foundation draw from their South Asian heritage, blending traditional Asian instruments with jungle rhythms, dub basslines and rap, to create their own unique sound. While their music remains designed for dancing, it is also politically charged, addressing themes of social justice.

Formed in 1993 at a music technology workshop for Asian youth, the group came together around their shared passion for music and education. Soon after, they established ADF Education, a platform aimed at empowering young people and supporting campaigns for those suffering with miscarriages of justice!

By the mid-’90s, Asian Dub Foundation had built a formidable reputation, performing alongside major acts like Rage Against the Machine, the Beastie Boys, Radiohead, and Primal Scream.
