Wembley Concert to Aid Gaza Set for September 2024

The 'Together for Palestine' benefit concert is scheduled at London's Wembley Arena on September 17, 2024, aiming to raise funds for humanitarian relief in Gaza amid widespread starvation and conflict. The event is curated by Brian Eno and produced with Khaled Ziada, Khalid Abdalla, and Tracey Seaward. British performers such as Damon Albarn, Jamie xx, Bastille, James Blake, and Cat Burns will join Palestinian artists including Adnan Joubran, Faraj Suleiman, and Nai Barghouti. Special appearances are set for Rina Sawayama, PinkPantheress, and Riz Ahmed, with more contributors expected. Proceeds will go to the UK charity Choose Love, supporting 23 partner organizations in Gaza with food, medical supplies, and other aid. Organizers describe the concert as both a humanitarian fundraiser and a cultural response to what they characterize as genocide and a humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.
