Jerry and The Specials played the last-ever Rock against Racism carnival in 1981, and Jerry has played a leading role in the LMHR =campaign; Jerrysaid: "Love music hate racism; always say that you don't have to love music, it's the second part that's important! Hating racism should be as natural as liking music, or breathing air for that matter. Anti racism is not "political" it's normal. Please support Love music Hate Racism and help correct the hysterical lies and distortions of the B.N.P.

Paul Simonon also played the 1978 concert, as bass player in The Clash and is also a supporter of LMHR, "It is what it is... musicians against racism. I was against it then and I still am today".

As with the original event there will be an Anti Nazi League-organised march against racism and fascism on the day, assembling at 10am at Weavers Fields London E2. coaches will be bringing groups from around the country to the event.
