Brian Eno will host the event at Wembley Arena.
Brian Eno has worked with some of the world's biggest musicians including Coldplay, David Bowie and U2. Now, he has announced Together For Palestine, a one-night-only benefit concert at Wembley Arena in London. The event is set to take place on 17 September.
The gig will see Eno, Khaled Ziada, Khalid Abdalla, and Tracey Seaward act as executive producers. They will be supported by performances from artists, musicians who support Palestine — all while raising funds for families in Gaza.
Brian Eno said: “I’ve had the good fortune to work with some of the world’s most remarkable artists for over 50 years. But one of my biggest regrets is that during that time, so many of us have remained silent about Palestine.We can’t remain silent. Which is why I’m helping to organise Together for Palestine — a night of music, reflection, and hope at Wembley Arena. Whether on stage or by video from around the world, this is a chance for us to stand together and say: this can’t continue.”
All donations from the benefit will go to Palestinian partners through Choose Love. The UK-based charity supports local humanitarians in conflict zones. Brian Eno added that the concert is about “sending a message of love and solidarity to the people of Palestine — that they haven’t been forgotten. We see them, we hear them, and though we may be far away, we’re deeply connected — as we are to all humanity.”
Details about Brian Eno's concert, including the full line-up, will be released at a later date. Tickets go on sale on Monday 4 August at 10am.
