Sudanese-Canadian musician Mustafa has announced a second edition of his Artists for Aid concert, following a sold-out first event in New Jersey this January.
The songwriter and poet is bringing the benefit concert, which will raise funds for War Child UK's work in Gaza and Sudan, to London, England on July 4.
Canadian R&B singer Daniel Caesar and American indie-pop artist Clairo, both of whom performed at the first event, are set to appear again. Joining them are indie auteur Blood Orange, rapper Earl Sweatshirt, experimental sound artist Bint Mbareh, hip hop legend Yasiin Bey (formerly Mos Def), comedian and director Ramy Youssef and more.
"Every artist here is a hero of empathy, thank you for answering our call," Mustafa said, announcing the event.
The announcement comes amidst a busy period for the outspoken artist, who recently released a new single and video "Gaza Is Calling," dedicated to a childhood friend from Palestine and featuring current footage from a West Bank refugee camp.
Last week, the singer was announced as the winner of the 2024 Prism Prize, awarded to the team behind the best Canadian music video of the year, for his "Name of God" video. He is the first artist to win the award twice, following his 2022 win for "Ali."
"This is a moment of solidarity for those in critical need of humanitarian aid across the world," reads the event description for the London edition of Artists for Aid.
Tickets are on sale now.
