The concert, the largest Gaza fundraiser ever staged in the UK, features an extensive lineup of international names including Paul Weller, Damon Albarn, Portishead, Nadine Shah, Neneh Cherry, PinkPantheress, Bastille, Jamie xx and James Blake. Actors Guy Pearce, Benedict Cumberbatch, Florence Pugh, Jameela Jamil, Riz Ahmed and Ruth Negga are also scheduled to appear, alongside former footballer Eric Cantona and presenter Amelia Dimoldenberg.
