Line-Up Confirmed for Brian Eno’s Palestine Benefit Concert at Wembley Arena

The full line-up has been announced for Together for Palestine, a major benefit concert at Wembley Arena organised by musician and producer Brian Eno.

The event, which will unite British and Palestinian artists at the 12,500-capacity venue, aims to raise funds for Choose Love — a UK charity working with 23 partner organisations in Gaza to deliver food, medical supplies and essential support.

Speaking ahead of the concert, Eno said:

“In the face of the horrors of Gaza, silence becomes complicity. Artists have always helped societies to point out injustice and imagine better futures. That’s why this concert matters. It’s time for us to come together – not just to raise our voices, but to reaffirm our shared humanity.”

The concert is being produced by Khaled Ziada, Brian Eno and Oscar-winning film producer Tracey Seaward.

Ziada, founder and director of the London Palestine Film Festival, described the show as an urgent act of collective resistance:

“In a world where governments and mainstream media have fallen silent in the face of genocide, this gathering becomes a chorus of resistance – where artists and communities come together to grieve, to rage and to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Palestinian people.”

A Multidisciplinary Event
The evening will go beyond a traditional concert, functioning as a multidisciplinary platform for grief, resistance and political visibility – confronting silence with sound, and erasure with art.

Performers will include singer-songwriter Rachel Chinouriri, fresh from touring with Sabrina Carpenter, who urged fellow artists to join in “building a bridge to victims in Gaza and beyond” and to “break through the privilege of our bubble and speak with truth and justice.”

Damon Albarn echoed this sentiment, stating:

“Pacifism is an action. Peace is an action. To live peacefully requires vision and commitment … I am grateful for this opportunity to act in solidarity with the Palestinian people.”

Visual Design with a Message
The stage is being designed by acclaimed artist Es Devlin, known for her work with Beyoncé and U2, in collaboration with Palestinian painter Malak Mattar.

Devlin said the design would reflect the event’s core values:

“The Wembley Arena stage will express the rich beauty of Palestinian culture.”

Public Reaction and Eno’s Advocacy
Early online reactions to the announcement have been positive, with one Reddit user calling Eno “a legend” and another describing the initiative simply as “great”.

Eno has long been a vocal advocate for Palestinian rights and a supporter of the cultural boycott of Israel. In 2017, he publicly clashed with musician Nick Cave, who had criticised the boycott as censorship. Eno responded:

“This has nothing to do with ‘silencing’ artists – a charge I find rather grating when used in a context where a few million people are permanently and grotesquely silenced.”

A Cultural Moment in the Making
By staging Together for Palestine at one of the UK’s most prestigious venues and bringing together leading names from music, film and art, the organisers aim to create not only a night of performance, but a cultural moment with lasting political resonance.
