As the siege on Gaza approaches its second anniversary, dozens of the country’s most prominent musicians are coming together to send a message of love and solidarity for the Palestinian people via a massive benefit concert at the OVO Wembley Arena. Orchestrated by the legendary Brian Eno, Together for Palestine will feature performances by the Roxy Music leader himself alongside the likes of Jamie xx, James Blake, Damon Albarn, King Krule, PinkPantheress, Hot Chip, Sampha, Cat Burns and Paloma Faith among many others.
Alongside these will be visual segments directed by Palestinian theatre-maker Amir Nizar Zuabi dedicated to the doctors, teachers, journalists and aid workers risking their lives to help the besieged Palestinian people, and honouring the lives of the (at present) 66,000 civilians, 217 journalists and 224 aid workers killed. 100% of proceeds raised from tickets, as well as from merch designed by Bella Freud, Katherine Hamnett, Simone Rocha and Priya Ahluwalia will go to refugee charity Choose Love and its partner organisations on the ground in Gaza to provide urgent food and medical supplies.
