Some of music’s biggest names are set to come together in September at the OVO Wembley Arena, in solidarity and support for Palestine.
Together For Palestine is a one-night gathering on September 17 for an evening of music, reflection and hope, and aims to raise vital funds for Gaza while creating a powerful public expression of solidarity with the Palestinian people.
Though more names are to be announced in the coming weeks, the event already boasts a who’s who of British music, including Brian Eno, Damon Albarn, Rachel Chinouriri, Jamie XX, Greentea Peng, Bastille and more.
They will be joined by some of the finest musicians Palestine has to offer, with Adnan Joubran, Faraj Suleiman, and Nai Barghouti also confirmed for the event so far.
They will soundtrack the event as visuals will be interwoven with powerful moments of reflection and hope, directed by acclaimed theatre-maker Amir Nizar Zuabi, honouring the extraordinary courage of frontline doctors, teachers, journalists, and aid workers, and offering space to grieve those who have been lost.
The show aims to raise millions of pounds through ticket sales and donations around the event, with 100% of the ticket price (excluding all additional fees) to be donated to Choose Love, with every penny going to support Palestinian-led organisations providing humanitarian relief.
For months, executive producers Brian Eno, Khalid Abdalla, Khaled Ziada, and Tracey Seaward have united leading British and Palestinian artists for this unprecedented event, with Eno explaining: “In the face of the horrors of Gaza, silence becomes complicity. 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.”
