Later that year, the East Midlands division organised a concert for 25 September. Three nights before the concert, Donaldson and a few friends were travelling in a car that spun out of control into a ditch. Donaldson and another passenger died, and other passengers had minor wounds.

Each year, on or near the anniversary of Donaldson's death, a large memorial concert is held. In 2008, a concert in Redhill, Somerset attracted widespread BBC, radio and newspaper coverage.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7632507.stm |title=Family flee 'neo-Nazi' rally |publisher=BBC News |date=23 September 2008}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/somerset/7632053.stm |title=Probe into 800-strong Nazi event |publisher=BBC News |date=23 September 2008}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Coles |first=John |url=http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article1731899.ece |title=Village invaded by 800 Nazi thugs |work=The Sun |date=25 September 2008}}</ref> The memorial concert to mark the 20th anniversary of the death of Ian Stuart Donaldson reportedly was the biggest associated gig in the UK with between 1,000 and 1,200 people attending.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Lowles|first1=Nick|title=Huge gig, few Brits|url=http://www.hopenothate.org.uk/blog/nick/huge-gig-few-brits-3071|website=HOPE not hate|accessdate=13 July 2014|date=22 September 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140708072911/http://hopenothate.org.uk/blog/nick/huge-gig-few-brits-3071#|archive-date=2014-07-08|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Ian Stuart Donaldson and a legacy of hate|url=http://www.channel4.com/news/ian-stuart-donaldson-a-legacy-of-hate|accessdate=13 July 2014|work=Channel 4|date=24 September 2013}}</ref> On the 23rd anniversary of the death of founder, [[Ian Stuart Donaldson]], the annual memorial gig once again attracted international television and media coverage.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/hundreds-attend-blood-and-honour-neo-nazi-rally-in-cambridgeshire/story-29787141-detail/story.html|title=Hundreds attend Blood and Honour neo-Nazi rally in Cambridgeshire|first=Raymond|last=Brown|date=6 October 2016|website=Cambridge-news.co.uk|accessdate=12 December 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://metro.co.uk/2016/10/07/police-let-neo-nazis-hold-rally-in-small-village-because-they-thought-it-was-for-charity-6178745/|title=Police let neo-Nazis hold rally in small village 'because they thought it was for charity'|date=7 October 2016|work=[[Metro (British newspaper)|Metro]]|accessdate=12 December 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-37575508|title='Charity' neo-Nazi rally not opposed|first=Sally|last=Chidzoy|date=6 October 2016|accessdate=12 December 2017 |work=[[BBC News]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/nazi-rally-haddenham-allowed-police-mistook-for-charity-event-a7350291.html|title=Neo-nazi rally took place as police thought it was a 'charity event'|date=7 October 2016|website=[[The Independent]] |accessdate=12 December 2017}}</ref>
