We are a national organisation that use the energy of the music scene to celebrate diversity and involve people in anti-racist and anti-fascist activity – as well as to urge people to vote against fascist candidates in elections. LMHR has helped to mobilise against further BNP election victories, in the tradition of the Rock Against Racism (RAR) movement of the late 1970s, which was supported the by huge punk band, The Clash.

There were almost 100 LMHR events in 2006, from large outdoor festivals to local gigs and club nights. Artists who’ve performed at LMHR events include Lethal Bizzle, Babyshambles, Statik, Lupe Fiasco, Roll Deep, Belle & Sebastian, The Paddingtons, Jenna G, Estelle, Basement Jaxx, Doves, Gallows, The View, Mystery Jets and Kasabian as well as many other wonderful bands and artists (there is simply not enough space to name all our supporters in the music industry). Just as important are the up-and-coming bands, DJs, MCs and their fans who have performed at or organised their own local LMHR nights.
