Damon Albarn, Jamie xx and more to play Brian Eno’s Together For Palestine gig

The line-up for the Brian Eno-curated Together For Palestine gig at London’s Wembley Arena has been revealed.

On September 17, the fundraising gig will take over the venue, with the likes of PinkPantheress, Damon Albarn, Jamie xx, Hot Chip, King Krule and more all on the bill.

The gig will raise funds for the Together For Palestine Fund, with 100 per cent of the ticket price going to Choose Love in their efforts to support Palestinian-led organisations providing humanitarian relief.

Josie Fernandez-Marelli, CEO and co-founder of Choose Love, said: “In the last 20 months, Palestinian organisations partners supported people with food, water, urgent medical support and more – often without having slept, eaten or having the right equipment. With this event, we aim to raise millions more for these heroes, to help them continue their life-saving work, and send with those funds a message of solidarity, hope and gratitude.”

Eno himself added: “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.”

See the initial line-up below, with more artists set to be added. Tickets for the gig are on sale here now.

A month later, on October 17, Paul Weller, Inhaler and Primal Scream will play a Gig For Gaza at London’s Troxy venue.

Funds from the show will be donated directly to Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) and Gaza Forever.

Earlier this month, Massive Attack announced an alliance for musicians who are facing “intimidations from within” the music industry over their support of Palestine and Gaza. The band shared a statement on Instagram saying they hope help protect other artists from the “organised censorship” many have experienced after speaking out.

“The scenes in Gaza have moved beyond description,” the band wrote. “We write as artists who’ve chose to use our public platforms to speak out agains the genocide occurring there & the role of the UK Government in facilitating it. Because of our expressions of conscience, we’ve been subject to various intimidations from within our industry (live & recorded) & legally via organised bodies such as UK Lawyers For Israel; whose range of activities has now finally been exposed in a new documentary film projected last night by the Led By Donkeys collective.”
