Reclaim Australia says it will no longer use songs by Cold Chisel rocker Jimmy Barnes at its rallies, after the singer said "none of these people represent me and I do not support them".

Cold Chisel's Khe Sanh was played at at least one of the Reclaim Australia rallies which sparked clashes between anti-Islam and anti-racist protesters over the weekend.

The Scottish-born singer took to his Facebook page to acknowledge the use of his music, but said he did not support the message of the rallies.

The protest group said on Facebook it was "deeply saddened" by Barnes' wish to not have his songs played.

But it said it would continue to "privately" support the Australian icon.

"We are & will continue to support you privately as you are an Aussie Icon, however if it's your wish, we will no longer play your songs at our Rallies," the Facebook post said.

"Mr Barnes, you have mistakenly believed incorrect new reports that Reclaim Australia is a racist group ... this is not true.

"Inevitably at our rallies we unfortunately have some fanatics & we have tried our best to have them removed," it said.

Through his publicist, Barnes declined to make any comment beyond that already posted on social media.

In his earlier post he wrote: "It has come to my attention that certain groups of people have been using my voice, my songs as their anthems at rallies".

"None of these people represent me and I do not support them.

"I only want to say the Australia I belong to and love is a tolerant Australia. A place that is open and giving.

"It is a place that embraces all sorts of different people, in fact it is made stronger by the diversity of its people."

Barnes's wife Jane, with whom he has four children, was born in Thailand.

A series of Reclaim Australia rallies were held around the country over the weekend.

In Melbourne, police were forced to use capsicum spray as anti-racism protesters clashed with nationalists.

Federal Coalition MP George Christensen caused controversy by addressing the Reclaim Australia rally in Mackay.

Former federal MP Pauline Hanson also addressed a rally in Rockhampton, saying she was "against the spread of Islam".
