Now this is a big anniversary gig! 40 years to the day when one of the most important gigs in British punk history took place in Victoria Park in London's Hackney. Really the culmination of several years of activism throughout the mid-70's against the far right whose parties, The National Front and The British Movement, were at what was to be the pinnacle of their popularity.
Of course gigs continued to be smashed up after Rock Against Racism had run its course, but in many ways this festival seemed to break the will of those organisations of the far right who then turned on themselves.
Not originally billed, but one of the main draws of the day were The Clash.
