Overview
- Brian Eno’s one‑night benefit is underway at London’s OVO Arena Wembley and is being streamed worldwide on YouTube.
- Ahead of the show, a celebrity video featured Billie Eilish, Cillian Murphy, Joaquin Phoenix and others urging a ceasefire and political action.
- The lineup spans British and Palestinian artists, with a filmed Portishead performance and onstage appearances from Florence Pugh and Benedict Cumberbatch.
- Organisers say the sold‑out arena will funnel every penny to Choose Love for groups including Taawon, the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund and the Palestine Medical Relief Service.
- Eno said venues and platforms initially resisted hosting an event explicitly named for Palestine before Wembley signed and YouTube agreed to stream, and one outlet reported a €1,000,000 fundraising target.
