Brian Eno to lead Together For Palestine at Wembley Arena

A benefit concert for Palestine will be held at Wembley Arena in London on 17 September. A number of artists will be performing at the event, the proceeds of which will be donated to charity organisations working in Gaza.

Called Together for Palestine, the concert, lead by musician Brian Eno, will bring together British and Palestinian artists at the 12,500-capacity venue to raise funds for Choose Love, a British charity working with 23 partner organisations in Gaza to deliver food, medical supplies and other support.

Palestinian musicians Adnan Joubran, Faraj Suleiman and Nai Barghouti are scheduled to perform alongside Eno and a host of top UK artists, including Bastille, Cat Burns, Damon Albarn, Greentea Peng, Hot Chip, James Blake, Jamie xx, King Krule, Mabel, Obongjayar, Paloma Faith, Rachel Chinouriri and Sampha.

Brian Eno says: "I've had the good fortune to work with some of the world's most remarkable artists for over 50 years. But I regret that during that time so many of us have remained silent about Palestine. Often that silence has come from fear - real fear - that speaking out could provoke a backlash, close doors or end a career.

"But that's now changing - partly because some artists and activists have lit the path, but mostly because the truth of what's going on has become impossible to ignore.

"What we are witnessing in Gaza isn't a mystery, and neither is it a blur of competing narratives making it 'hard to understand'.

"When dozens of non-partisan organisations like Amnesty International and Doctors Without Borders describe it as genocide, the moral line is clear.

"We can't remain silent.

"Which is why I'm helping to organise Together for Palestine - a night of music, reflection and hope at OVO Arena Wembley on 17th September.

"My sincere belief is that this evening can become a moment of courage where artists come together to speak the truth in their hearts - which is what we trust artists to do. 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.

"Together we can raise millions in urgently needed aid for families in Gaza. Every penny donated will go to Palestinian partners through Choose Love, a UK charity supporting local humanitarians in conflict zones.

"But this is about more than just money. It's 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.

Please join us on 17th September.

Together, for Palestine.

100% of the ticket price (excluding all additional fees) will be paid to Choose Love (charity number 1177927) with every penny going to support Palestinian-led organisations providing humanitarian relief
