Presented in partnership with War Child, 100% of all proceeds from the concert will be donated towards the charity’s response plan in Gaza and Sudan.

“London! Sudan is calling. Gaza is calling. Every artist here is a hero of empathy, thank you for answering our call. Tickets are on sale at artistsforaid.org at 5pm today. There is a war, strike a chord, cry an answer,” wrote Mustafa on Instagram.

The new concert follows January’s Artists For Aid Benefit gig in New Jersey, hosted by Mustafa and featuring the likes of Clairo, Daniel Caesar, Stormzy and more.

Artists For Aid is described as a “humanitarian aid collective,” comprising “young artists and musicians” who use “the power of music to create global change”.
