Love Music Hate Racism free carnival this Sunday

This Sunday's Love Music Hate Racism free carnival in East London's Victoria Park celebrates the 30th anniversary of the first Rock Against Racism concert, which took place in the same park back in April 1978. It's not just rock acts performing any more, though funnily enough RAR's inaugural event two years previously featured a singer called Carol Grimes - and there's certainly a lot of grime artists performing this weekend.

Bashy, Chipmunk, Jammer, No Lay, Roll Deep, Tinchy Stryder and Wiley are all appearing alongside other artists and DJs including Akala, Alex Mills, Benga, Dennis Bovell, DJ Hype, Heartless Crew, Jocelyn Brown, Juggy D, Nihal, Ny and Skream. If the weather's nice it'll be unmissable...

Here's the Roll Deep track Racist People from Wiley's Tunnel Vision Vol 2, which includes eloquent verses from Scratchy, Trim and Wiley himself:

MP3: Roll Deep - Racist People

Last year an official Love Music Hate Racism video was made for the same track without Wiley and Trim but with the addition of Riko Dan and his memorable line, "BNP - your time soon dun out". Indeed.
