Love Music, Hate Racism carnival comes to town

Thirty years on since the first "Carnival against the Nazis" open air concert in London, the occasion is being marked with a massive free event in London's Victoria Park.

Get yourself down to the East End on Sunday 27th April, from 12pm, for music from the likes of The Good The Bad The Queen, Jerry Dammers (The Specials), Larrikin, Shingai/Jamie/Dan (Noisettes), Wiley, Get Cape Wear Cape Fly and a host of other acts.

For a great history of the event, read Sarfraz Manzoor's article in the Observer, which gives you a good idea of just how important this event was back in 1978 and still is for highlighting the continuing struggle against racism.

Check the video below for interviews with many of the artists appearing at Sunday's Carnival...
