The benefit concert “Artists for Aid,” organized by the artist and activist Mustafa (also known as Mustafa the Poet), is scheduled to take place on January 10, 2026, in Los Angeles.
The concert aims to raise funds for humanitarian relief efforts in Sudan and Palestine.
According to the organizers, proceeds from the event will be donated to two charities: the Sudanese American Physicians Association and the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund.
Star-studded lineup and hosts
The concert will feature a diverse roster of musical acts spanning multiple genres. Confirmed performers include Clairo, Daniel Caesar, Shawn Mendes, Ravyn Lenae, Blood Orange, Lucy Dacus, along with additional acts like Geese, Alex G, and more.
The evening will be hosted by Bella Hadid and Pedro Pascal.
A growing movement of solidarity through music
“Artists for Aid” is now entering its third edition. The first concert was held in Newark, New Jersey in 2024, followed by a second show in London in July 2025.
With its Los Angeles edition, the initiative is scaling up, combining musical talent and celebrity influence with humanitarian activism.
Organizers say the aim is to channel the proceeds to provide medical aid, relief, and support to civilians affected by the crises in Sudan and Palestine.
As the countdown begins, the 2026 concert is already being described as a high-profile example of art and activism converging to address urgent global challenges.
