The Together for Palestine concert, held at London’s OVO Arena Wembley on September 17, brought together 69 artists, speakers, and activists in a powerful show of solidarity for Gaza. High-profile performers like Damon Albarn, Bastille, PinkPantheress, Hot Chip, and actors such as Benedict Cumberbatch and Florence Pugh shared the stage. Yet it was the Palestinian musicians and speakers who left the deepest impact — including oud player Adnan Joubran, rapper El Far3i, and vocalist Nai Barghouti. The Guardian
Curated by Brian Eno and artist Malak Mattar, the event succeeded not only as a fundraiser — raising £1.5 million via ticket sales, online donations, and merch — but also as a platform highlighting the voices from Palestine. The Guardian
Organisers emphasised the concert was more than a celebrity show; it was a message: solidarity, visibility, and justice. Figures like journalist Yara Eid and poet-writer contributions underscored the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, reminding audiences of the power of art combined with activism. The Guardian
