DUBAI: Brian Eno, Damon Albarn, Obongjayar, Jamie xx and more are among the top artists set to perform at one of the largest benefit concerts for Palestine since the escalation of the conflict on Oct. 7, 2023.
The event, curated by British musician and songwriter Eno, will take place at Wembley Arena in London on Sept. 17.
Titled “Together for Palestine,” the concert unites British and Palestinian musicians at the 12,500-capacity venue to raise funds for Choose Love, a UK charity working with 23 organizations in Gaza to provide food, medical supplies and other forms of aid.
Palestinian musicians Adnan Joubran, Faraj Suleiman and Nai Barghouti will also perform, with additional special appearances by Rina Sawayama, PinkPantheress and Riz Ahmed.
“In the face of the horrors of Gaza, silence becomes complicity,” Eno, a long-time advocate for Palestine, said in a statement. “Artists have always helped societies to point out injustice and imagine better futures. That’s why this concert matters. It’s time for us to come together — not just to raise our voices, but to reaffirm our shared humanity.”
