Om avsnittet
This episode traces The Clash’s April 30 1978 performance in London’s Victoria Park as part of the Rock Against Racism carnival, placing it amid a surge of fascist activism and punk resistance. Tony examines how the band fused punk, reggae and anti‑racist politics on stage, the volunteer‑run logistics that brought 45,000 people together, and what that moment meant for the movement’s future and The Clash’s own political evolution.
