Musicians to perform at london artists for gaza fundraiser

A lineup of veteran British musicians is set to take the stage at London's Scala on May 17 for an Artists for Gaza fundraiser. The event will raise money for medical aid in Gaza through Health Workers 4 Palestine.

Paul Weller, Madness, Primal Scream frontman Bobby Gillespie, Sex Pistols bassist Glen Matlock and others will perform live or provide DJ sets at the Scala venue. Proceeds will support the Gaza Medics Solidarity Fund, which rebuilds maternity wards and funds mobile clinics in the region. This marks the third such event, following two prior shows that collected more than £55,000 for UNICEF's Gaza appeal.

In a statement, Benn condemned Ye's past comments about Jews and Hitler as abhorrent but called for forgiveness and second chances. The booking has prompted sponsor withdrawals and criticism from UK leaders including Prime Minister Keir Starmer and London Mayor Sadiq Khan.
