International Clash Day

Know Your Rights!

Join KEXP as we celebrate International Clash Day: Know Your Rights, observed this year on Friday, February 6th, 5AM-7PM Pacific. We’ll honor the legacy of The Clash with deep cuts, covers, and of course your favorite Clash tracks, while also celebrating the rights we all hold as human beings. At a time when some of those rights feel under attack, it's time for a public service announcement - with guitar. It’s a GIGANTIC radio clash, right here on KEXP. Listen live or on-demand here at KEXP.ORG or on the KEXP App.

DJ Lineup

  • Early with Eva Walker (5-7AM Pacific)
  • The Morning Show with John Richards (7-10AM Pacific)
  • The Midday Show with Kevin Cole (10AM-1PM Pacific)
  • The Afternoon Show with Larry Mizell, Jr. (1PM-4PM Pacific)
  • Drive Time with Evie Stokes (4-7PM Pacific)

In the KEXP Gathering Space

Design students from Cornish College of the Arts are creating International Clash Day posters, responding to this year's theme “Know Your Rights.” The students’ work will be displayed in the Gathering Space, and free copies of the 11x17 Risograph posters will be available for visitors to take, while supplies last. Join students from Dan Shafer’s Poster Design class in celebrating creative resistance and building strong communities through art.
