Gathering for the Concert in Support of Palestine: Artists such as Damon Albarn, Paloma Faith, Adnan Joubran, and Faraj Suleiman will perform
In the heart of London, on September 17, 2025, the Wembley Arena will echo with the sounds of unity and empathy as a diverse group of artists come together for the "Together for Palestine" benefit concert. This landmark event is spearheaded by British musician and activist Brian Eno, who also acts as one of the executive producers, alongside Khaled Ziada, founder and director of the London Palestine Film Festival, who is a co-organizer of the event.
The concert promises an unforgettable lineup, featuring a blend of British and Palestinian talent. Damon Albarn, frontman of Blur, Paloma Faith, Bastille, Riz Ahmed, Rina Sawayama, James Blake, Jamie xx, PinkPantheress, Adnan Joubran, Faraj Suleiman, and Nai Barghouti are just a few of the performers set to take the stage. The event aims to create a chorus of resistance in a world where governments and mainstream media have fallen silent in the face of genocide, as described by Ziada.
The purpose of the concert is twofold: to raise funds and awareness for the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and to build public empathy and resistance through arts and community engagement. The funds raised will be donated to Choose Love, a British charity that works with 23 partner organizations in Gaza to deliver essential aid, such as food distribution, medical supplies, and psychological support.
Eno believes that this concert can become a moment of courage where artists come together to speak the truth in their hearts, standing against the silence that many artists have maintained, often due to fear of backlash or career consequences. Eno has been a vocal supporter of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, refusing to perform in Israel and urging others to do the same.
This concert is not just a fundraising event, but a movement to foster solidarity for Palestinians facing severe hardship. The organizers emphasize the role of artists in drawing attention to injustice and fostering empathy, reaffirming shared humanity in the face of adversity.
Tickets for this historic event will be available from August 4, starting at £35 (Dh170). Join us on September 17 as we stand together for Palestine, united in our pursuit of peace and justice.
