Around 10,000 people attended the London show, which featured performances from several artists alongside speeches from activists and campaigners, with proceeds going to 12 organisations supporting Palestinians.

Thunberg abriu a noite com um discurso no qual elogiou a resiliência das pessoas em Gaza e instou os participantes a continuarem a campanha além do concerto.

The Swedish activist warned that the “occupation will not end by philanthropy and slogans”, encouraging the audience to maintain their commitment to Palestinians after leaving the venue.

Thunberg had previously criticised Ed Sheeran’s response to Macklemore’s removal from his tour, accusing the singer of lacking the courage to stand up to pressure from concert promoters and venue owners.

Among the evening’s other performers was Palestinian-Canadian singer Nemahsis, who spoke about her experience of being dropped by her record label in 2023 after publicly expressing support for Palestine.

A cantora, cujo nome verdadeiro é Nemah Hasan, já conversou com a NME para The Cover sobre as dificuldades que enfrentou na indústria musical e sua determinação em continuar se manifestando.

Faith também se apresentou no concerto, abordando o público sobre as preocupações que sentiu ao apoiar publicamente a causa palestina.

The singer, who said she was seven months postpartum, reflected on her responsibility as a mother and argued that the safety of children in Gaza, Sudan, Yemen and Congo was just as important as that of her own family.

Other speakers included Holocaust survivor Stephen Kapos, who recalled experiencing the Nazi occupation of Budapest as a child, and Antoine Raffoul, who was displaced from Palestine during the Nakba in 1948.

Arab Barghouthi, o filho do político palestino preso Marwan Barghouti, também se dirigiu ao público, falando sobre a prisão de seu pai e a importância de manter a esperança.

Macklemore, posteriormente, subiu ao palco para um set principal que incluiu músicas como “Thrift Shop”, “Same Love”, “These Days”, “Glorious” e “Can’t Hold Us”, além de sua faixa de protesto pró-Palestina “Hind’s Hall”.

He also referred to an unsuccessful attempt by 50 members of the House of Lords to prevent him from entering the UK.

The peers had urged Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood to block his visit over concerns about the Palestinian Youth Movement, one of the organisations benefiting from the tour.

The group has denied allegations that it celebrates terrorism or has links to terrorist organisations.

Reflecting on his decision to speak publicly about Gaza, Macklemore told the crowd that he had reached a point where remaining silent had become more uncomfortable than speaking out.

Ele insistiu: “Eu não acredito que dizer algo seja corajoso. Eu acredito que dizer algo seja humano.”.

I don't believe that saying something is brave. I don't believe that saying something is courageous. I believe that saying something is HUMAN. And those children in Gaza, are OUR children.

O concerto em Londres seguiu a noite de abertura em Dublin na segunda‑feira (26 de outubro), onde Macklemore foi acompanhado por Hozier, Kneecap, Beoga e mais.

The tour then visited Paris on Thursday (October 29), with Aurora, Pomme and Portugal. The Man among those performing.

Todos os lucros dos três shows beneficentes 'Free Palestine' também apoiarão organizações, incluindo Medical Aid for Palestinians, the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, Gaza Soup Kitchen, HEAL Palestine, Jewish Voice for Peace e UNRWA USA.
