Hadid, Pascal to host "Artists For Aid" concert in LA for Palestine, Sudan relief

• Artists For Aid 2026 Concert: The third installment of the series will take place on January 10, 2026, at Los Angeles’ historic Fonda Theatre, featuring a star-studded lineup, with hosting by Pedro Pascal and Bella Hadid, to raise funds for humanitarian relief in Palestine and Sudan.
• Proceeds and Purpose: All proceeds will be split between the Sudanese American Physicians Association and the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund, supporting emergency aid, healthcare, and relief for children affected by conflict and displacement.

The acclaimed Artists For Aid concert series is set to host its third installment on January 10, 2026, bringing together a diverse array of musical talents to raise funds for humanitarian relief in Palestine and Sudan.

Organized by Sudanese-Canadian musician Mustafa, the event will take place at the historic Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles, marking a shift to the West Coast after previous successful shows in the East.

The concert series, which began in 2024, has already made significant impacts through its first two editions. The inaugural event occurred in Newark, New Jersey, in January 2024, followed by a second in London in July of the same year.

These gatherings featured notable performers such as Yasiin Bey, Clairo, Earl Sweatshirt, Daniel Caesar, and FKA Twigs, with proceeds directed toward organizations like War Child UK to aid crisis responses in Gaza and Sudan. Building on this momentum, the Los Angeles show aims to continue amplifying voices and resources for those affected by ongoing conflicts and humanitarian crises in Palestine and Sudan.

This year's lineup boasts an impressive roster of artists spanning genres from indie rock to R&B and hip-hop. Confirmed performers include Clairo, Lucy Dacus, Geese, Alex G, Blood Orange, Daniel Caesar, Faye Webster, Jazmine Sullivan, Noname, Noor Hindi, Omar Apollo, Raphael Saadiq, Ravyn Lenae, Rex Orange County, Safia Elhillo, Shawn Mendes, Snoh Aalegra, Tamino, 070 Shake, and Mustafa himself, with more artists expected to be announced. The event will be hosted by actor Pedro Pascal and model Bella Hadid, adding a layer of star power to draw attention to the cause.

All proceeds from the concert will be split equally between the Sudanese American Physicians Association and the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund. These organizations provide critical medical and humanitarian support in the regions, including emergency aid, healthcare services, and relief for children impacted by violence and displacement.

Mustafa, who has been vocal about his Sudanese heritage and the crises in his homeland, emphasized the series' goal in a statement: "Through music, we can foster solidarity and direct resources where they're needed most."
