Last week, Brian Eno announced Together for Palestine, a large-scale benefit concert set for September 17 at London’s Wembley Arena. Now, he’s revealed a stacked initial lineup featuring Damon Albarn, James Blake, King Krule, Jamie xx, Hot Chip, Bastille, Sampha, Mabel, Obongjayar, Cat Burns, Rachel Chinouriri, Greentea Peng, and appearances from Rina Sawayama, Riz Ahmed, and PinkPantheress, with more names still to come.

Eno, who rarely performs live, will take the stage himself at the concert and emphasized its significance:
"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."
Tickets are currently on sale for the benefit show, with the official website confirming: “Every penny donated will go to Palestinian humanitarian organisations saving lives under fire. All funds will go through Choose Love, a UK-registered charity that supports local partners in conflict zones.”
Eno adds, “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.”
