LOVE Music Hate Racism is relaunching in London next month to stand against the recent surge of far-right riots across Britain.

The campaign, which takes inspiration from Rock Against Racism which helped push back the National Front in the 1970s, will make a comeback with a gig on September 6 at Koko in Camden. 

Paloma Faith is set to perform, alongside reggae and soul-influenced singer-songwriter Liam Bailey, reggae and dub DJ Rebel Clash and Southport-born singer-songwriter Lapsley.

Weyman Bennett, co-convener of sister organisation Stand Up to Racism, said: “This summer saw the far right have the confidence to run riot and instil fear in our communities.

“Mass anti-racist resistance turned the tide. But we need to continue to create a movement big and diverse enough to overcome the racism and division.

“That’s why Love Music Hate Racism is relaunching, to be a cultural force against the far right that promotes a simple message: there is more that unites us than divides us — and nothing demonstrates this more than music.”
