MUSICIANS, SPEAKERS, DJS, AND ACTIVISTS TEAM UP FOR A GATHERING FOR GAZA

A host of acclaimed musicians and DJs, alongside a lineup of speakers, advocates and community activists, will descend on PICA in Port Melbourne, Naarm on Sunday 21 December for A Gathering For Gaza - a one-day fundraising event announced today in solidarity with Palestinians and in support of vital relief efforts in Gaza amidst an ongoing genocide.

100% of net profits from ticket sales, special event merchandise and bar sales at A Gathering For Gaza will be donated directly to Olive Kids, PANZMA, PARA and Médecins Sans Frontières Australia (Doctors Without Borders). Funds will be used to support their critical ongoing work on the ground in Gaza, providing essential services like medical aid, food and education, as well as supporting new arrivals from Palestine.

Uniting under the mission of keeping the focus firmly on Palestine, A Gathering For Gaza features a lineup of internationally acclaimed artists including Julia Jacklin playing her first Australian show in almost two years and Angie McMahon in her only Australian show this year. Also performing are seven-time ARIA Award winner Genesis Owusu, Tarab Ensemble performing classic Arabic music with a twist, Miss Kaninna - who has just wrapped up a UK/EU tour with Kneecap, Naarm-based Palestinian soul singer, songwriter and producer YARA, Folk Bitch Trio fresh off their world tour, psych group Mildlife, DJ sets from Cut Copy, Harvey Sutherland, Merve and Milo Eastwood, and a special pre-recorded set from Moktar that will feature his signature fusion of club, techno, and traditional Arabic instrumentation.

Between performances, representatives from Palestinian, Jewish and global human rights-focused charity organisations, community groups and activists will share information, resources and updates on their ongoing work. 

Tickets are on sale at 12pm AEDT this Wednesday 10 December via Oztix // agatheringforgaza.com
