Last week thousands joined us
@ovoarena for what has become the largest ever concert for Palestine in this country. It was an ambitious, complex and challenging project but the result was nothing short of magical.
The energy in the room was extraordinary: a shared space where pain, sorrow and solidarity turned into hope for Gaza’s future, and for all of Palestine.
We could not have done this without the most incredible team:
@annacnolan_ &
@jamessadri – event directors of Together for Palestine
Exec producers
@brianeno @khalid3bdalla Khaled Ziada &
@tracey_seaward advisors

@esmepeach & Kat: Fortavocca for carrying an extraordinary workload across so many aspects with such quiet brilliance.
Emma
@heavymetalkid , Jon
@jont720 & Library productions team and suppliers for world-class delivery and nothing short of a miracle in achieving the full technical production in just 6 weeks.

I was proud to produce this event alongside such extraordinary people.
Already, Together for Palestine's received 5⭐️ reviews in The Times, who described it as “a game-changing Live Aid moment”, and coverage across The Guardian, BBC, Evening Standard, British Vogue, NME, GQ, The Independent, MSNBC, Al Jazeera, The New Arab, Billboard, Dazed Middle East, Vogue Arabia, Times of India, The National and so many more.

This was a cultural moment, ambitious, difficult, but above all, hopeful.
