Uniting for Palestine: A Comprehensive Overview of the One-Day Music Event Happening in London
Brian Eno, the renowned British composer, producer, and visual artist, has announced a benefit concert aimed at raising funds for families in Gaza. The event, named "Together for Palestine," is scheduled for September 17 at London's Wembley Arena.
This "night of music, reflection, and hope" will bring together artists and communities in a gathering of resistance, expressing solidarity with the Palestinian people and those suffering injustice. Eno has been a vocal supporter of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement and has long advocated for humanitarian causes, particularly those related to Palestine.
The concert's proceeds will be donated to Choose Love, a UK charity that supports humanitarian efforts in conflict zones. Choose Love operates across more than 30 countries and has supported over five million people with emergency aid, medical care, legal advice, education, and mental health support.
This isn't the first time Eno has spoken out in support of Palestine. Last month, he formed a syndicate with other artists to protect those protesting against Israel's attack on Gaza. Eno has also written an open letter to his "artist friends" encouraging them to speak out about Palestine, citing the support of numerous non-partisan organizations like Amnesty International and Doctors Without Borders.
The concert will feature a diverse lineup of artists and celebrity guests, including rock band Bastille, Brian Eno, Cat Burns, Damon Albarn, Faraj Suleiman, Greentea Peng, Hot Chip, James Blake, Jamie xx, King Krule, Mabel, Nai Barghouti, Obongjayar, Paloma Faith, PinkPantheress, Rachel Chinouriri, Rina Sawayama, Riz Ahmed, Sampha, and oud player Adnan Joubran of Le Trio Joubran.
Together for Palestine is a joint organising effort by Eno, Khalid Abdalla, Tracey Seaward, and Khaled Ziada, the founder and director of the London Palestine Film Festival. Eno and his fellow organisers aim to protect artists from being threatened into silence or career cancellation by groups like UK Lawyers for Israel.
Tickets for Together for Palestine are now sold out. Fans who missed out may check official resale platforms, but organisers warn that tickets purchased elsewhere may not be valid. Proceeds from the concert will be donated to Palestinian partners via Choose Love to support vital humanitarian efforts in Gaza.
