2026 is the 50th anniversary of Rock Against Racism, a movement
of punks, musicians and artists against the far right. RAR was
the largest, noisiest most colourful, creative affirmation of
multicultural Britain that anyone had ever seen. An alliance of
musicians, artists, writers and fans who built a grassroots
movement. Organised 1,000’s of small gigs, over 50 RAR clubs,
five national Carnivals and five Tours, involving over 300 bands.
The result was a movement which shaped anti-fascists politics in
Britain and Europe into the 1980 and for years to come, with this
antifascist energy taking different forms, and a different focus
with organisations emerging such as the Anti-Nazi League and
Antifascist Action. With historian DK Renton, and Ruth Gregory,
artist, activist, and member of the original Rock Against Racism
organising committee.
