The concert Together for Palestine, curated by Brian Eno and several others, is scheduled for September 17, 2025, at Wembley Arena. Its purpose is to raise funds for humanitarian efforts in Gaza. Eno emphasized the concert's role in addressing the silence surrounding Palestine among artists, citing fear of repercussions as a reason for inaction. He stated that the situation in Gaza is clearly understood and cannot be ignored. Proceeds will support Palestinian humanitarian organizations through Choose Love, demonstrating solidarity with the people of Palestine.
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. Often that silence has come from fear, real fear - that speaking out could provoke a backlash, close doors or end a career.
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.
