What do supermodel Bella Hadid, actor Pedro Pascal, and singer-artist Mustafa the Poet all have in common? Besides being universally adored, they’re co-presenters for the third edition of Artists for Aid, a charity event supporting Palestine and Sudan, two countries that need the world’s eyes now more than ever.
The Artists for Aid fundraiser aims to be a night where creatives come together to rally the world behind an urgent cause. In her post announcing the lineup, Bella Hadid shared her gratitude for every artist who agreed to “donate their time and voice”.
Artists have long held the key to the public’s pulse, a lyric can tug at the heart long after we’ve grown desensitised to flashing news alerts. That’s the intent behind the series: artists using their platforms without hedging, without vague statements about peace and neutrality, and without the craven caution we have come to expect from the industry.
This year’s event will feature performances that reads like an indie dream Daniel Caesar, Faye Webster, Clairo, poet Safia Elhilo, Rex Orange County, and even Shawn Mendes, among other crowd favourites.
All proceeds from tickets for the live show will go directly, and equally, to the Sudanese American Physicians Association and the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund.
Scheduled for January 10, 2026, the event will take place in Los Angeles with the venue yet to be announced. The night is shaping up to be one of next year’s first large-scale cultural gatherings in support of Palestine and Sudan, and another reminder that artists continue to step in where other institutions may fall short.
