Music is living testimony to the fact that cultures can and do mix.

It unites us, gives us strength and offers a vibrant celebration of our multicultural society.

Racism seeks only to divide and weaken us.

‘Love Music Hate Racism’ is the contribution of the ‘Rock Against Racism’ movement of the late 1970s, which used music to unite people and promote anti-racism.

‘Love Music Hate Racism’ uses the energy of the music scene to celebrate diversity and involve people in anti-racist activity.

Since its founding in 2002, it has produced many hundreds of events. From large outdoor festivals to local gigs and club nights. It has been instrumental in discouraging support for the far-right groups.

The LMHR campaign has a renewed importance with the increase in islamophobia, anti-migrant racism and hostility towards refugees in Britain and across Europe.

We think it is time to reignite our national movement against racism through music. It is vital that everyone gets involved however they can.
