Rock Against Racism (RAR) was formed in 1976 in response to Eric Clapton's support of racist MP Enoch Powell. The movement's multicultural punk and reggae gigs provided a platform for resistance against neo-Nazis who were recruiting the nation's youth. The campaign grew from its Hoxton fanzine roots to a massive antifascist carnival in Victoria Park in 1978, featuring bands like X-Ray Spex, Steel Pulse, and The Clash.
