Overview

• The 12,500-capacity OVO Arena Wembley show was livestreamed globally and reported roughly £500,000 from ticket sales toward a total of about £1.5 million announced during the event.
• Organised by Brian Eno, the one-night concert featured over 150 contributors, blending performances with Palestinian art and first-hand testimony under artistic direction from Malak Mattar.
• A pre-show video with Billie Eilish, Cillian Murphy, Steve Coogan and others urged an immediate ceasefire and public pressure on governments, echoing on-stage calls for political action.
• Speakers including Francesca Albanese, Mehdi Hasan and Holocaust survivor Stephen Kapos highlighted civilian suffering and press freedom concerns, while Palestinian journalists and medics were honored.
• Eno said securing a venue and YouTube stream had been difficult because of the event’s focus, noting that Wembley signed on and YouTube consented, as the program referenced a recent UN finding of genocidal acts in Gaza.
