Paul Weller Hosts Charity Concert for Gaza

Paul Weller is curating a fundraising concert, 'Gig For Gaza', at London’s O2 Academy Brixton on December 13, featuring performances from Primal Scream, Kneecap, and Liam Bailey, with more artists to be announced. The event aims to raise funds for MAP (Medical Aid For Palestinians) and Gaza Forever, both of which provide critical aid such as food, medical supplies, and emergency shelter to those affected by the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Weller has been outspoken about the situation, previously calling for a ceasefire and condemning the violence in the region. The concert will also include guest speakers and short films, with artwork designed by Robert Del Naja of Massive Attack, known for their support of Palestinian rights. Tickets will go on sale on November 15, 2023, and the event seeks to make a tangible difference in the lives of those facing dire circumstances. Proceeds from the gig will directly support the humanitarian efforts of the charities involved.
