Together For Palestine, the charity concert recently announced by Brian Eno, has now announced its lineup.
Taking place at London’s Wembley Arena on September 17, the gig will feature a rare live set by Eno, one of the event’s co-organisers, as well as live music from the likes of Damon Albarn, Hot Chip, Obongjayar, James Blake, Sampha, Cat Burns, King Krule and Greentea Peng. PinkPantheress, Rina Sayawama and Riz Ahmed are also among the figures who will make guest appearances at the gig.
Eno previously described Together For Palestine as “a night of music, reflection and hope”, and it has been organised amid Israel’s ongoing military assault on the Palestinian people in Gaza. Tickets went on sale this past Monday (August 4). Khaled Ziada, Khalid Abdalla and Tracey Seaward have organised the event alongside Eno.
All funds raised will be directed towards the Palestinian people via Choose Love, a charity supporting local humanitarian organisations in conflict zones. Eno added that the event “is about more than just money”, however.
“It’s about sending a message of love and solidarity to the people of Palestine – that they haven’t been forgotten,” he said. “We see them, we hear them, and though we may be far away, we’re deeply connected – as we are to all humanity.”
