Lots to cover today, but first off: we’re going live
again!

We’ll be bringing No Tags live to the ICA in London – yep,
that one – on the evening of 11th December. If you are based
enough to subscribe to our paid tier, then you now have
early access to discounted tickets via the link
in this email’s header (and in the paywalled section at the
bottom of the email). These early access tickets will be
available for seven days before the show goes on
general sale on 8th October.

If you don’t subscribe to our paid tier but are considering
making the leap, then you’re in luck: the
discount will also be available to new
subscribers who sign up in the next seven
days – once you subscribe, you’ll receive an email
with the link.

More details for both the show and the book are imminent, but for
the former: there will be guests! There will be DJs! There will
be books on sale! And there may be merch!

OK, on to this week’s show. With the second leg
of the Oasis reunion cashgrab safely behind us, it felt like the
right time to tackle something we’ve noticed building all year
long – a massive surge of flag-waving, football shirts and
indie tribalism across pop and political culture.

Is the “Britcore” trend anything more than warmed-over nostalgia
for the ‘90s? When and where is it safe to wave an England flag?
How did the Ireland flag become a rallying point for right-on
indie tribes and politicised youth? Why do we show support for
Palestine through football shirts?

And a bonus Blobby mention, as is customary.
