Rock Against Communism (RAC) was the name of white power rock concerts in the United Kingdom in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

The Rock Against Communism movement originated in the United Kingdom in late 1978, as a response by the british neo-fascist[1] party National Front (NF) to Rock against racism.[2] The first RAC concert was in Leeds, England in 1978, featuring the bands The Dentists and The Ventz. RAC held one concert in 1979 and another in spring 1983, which was headlined by the white power punk band Skrewdriver, led by Ian Stuart Donaldson. After that, RAC concerts were held more often. They were often headlined by Skrewdriver and featured other fascist and neo-nazi bands such as Skullhead and No Remorse. In the mid-1980s, summer concerts were often held at the Suffolk home of Edgar Griffin, a Conservative Party activist and father of Nick Griffin, an National front organiser who later became the national chair of the British National Party. By the late 1980s, the RAC name had given way to the White Noise Club (another National front-based group), and later Blood and Honour, which was set up by Donaldson when they fell out with the NF leadership. As hardcore punk music became more popular in the 1990s and 2000s, many white power bands took on a more hardcore-influenced sound.
