Brian Eno, speaking on the motivations behind the concert, emphasized the moral imperative of artists to act: “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.”
Producer Khaled Ziada added, “In a world where governments and mainstream media have fallen silent in the face of genocide, this gathering becomes a chorus of resistance… to grieve, to rage, and to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Palestinian people.”
The concert’s stage design, helmed by celebrated designer Es Devlin in collaboration with Palestinian artist Malak Mattar, promises to be a visual tribute to Palestinian culture, imbued with beauty, resilience, and artistic expression
As tickets remain available, “Together for Palestine” stands poised not only as a night of music, reflection, and hope but as a bold testament that the power of art can transcend silence and mobilize compassion.
