The surprise performance closed out an evening of music from a high calibre lineup including indie auteur Blood Orange, singer-songwriter King Krule and comedian Ramy Youssef, all fundraising for the charity War Child UK.
Indie pop singer Clairo performed an unreleased song at the event, "Pier 4," from upcoming album Charm, before telling the crowd: "Free Palestine."

Mustafa also performed his recently released single "Gaza Is Calling," about a childhood friend from Palestine. The video for the song features recent footage from a Jenin refugee camp. The Sudanese-Canadian poet and songwriter also recently won the Prism Prize, Canada's top music video award, for his 2023 video "Name of God."
The London edition of Artists for Aid follows a previous event in January, that took place in New Jersey, featuring artists like Stormzy and 070 Shake, also in a fundraiser for Gaza and Sudan.
