English: Rock Against Racism was formed in 1976 in response to reports of right-wing statements by prominent rock musicians Eric Clapton and David Bowie. RAR and its sister organisation, the Anti-Nazi League found a following at a time of increasing nationalist, right-wing and fascist activism and the electoral success of the National Front in the 1970s. RAR sought to mobilize opposition to racism through the appeal of music, particularly punk and reggae. More than 80,000 people attended the RAR Carnival in east London's Victoria Park in April 1978 to hear bands including the Clash and Steel Pulse. With the ebbing of organised fascism in the UK, RAR was wound down; but its successor organisation, Love Music Hate Racism is still active.
