It’s a true celebration of collaborative spirit in the Dutch music scene, driven by a cause that transcends borders.

What You Can Expect From Transmission For Palestine

If you thought a radio broadcast was just background noise, think again. This event is designed as a vibrant community experience, both online and in-person. Attendees at the live event will enjoy an atmosphere filled with music, drinks, and delicious food. Plus, there’s a fun raffle offering prizes like club tickets, gift cards, merch, vinyl records, and more—because who doesn’t love a little serendipity?

The event is open to the public, welcoming donations that go directly to Plant een Olijfboom, a Dutch charity committed to providing critical support to Palestinians. Their work encompasses essentials like blankets, clothing, water, food, and medicine—helping those in need while educating the Dutch public about the ongoing situation in Palestine.

“You might even get a prize in our raffle! You can get lucky with club tickets, gift cards, merch, records, and much more.” – Transmission For Palestine Organizers

Supporting Palestine: How to Join and Contribute

Can’t make it in person? No worries! Donations can be made online in the lead-up to the event or during the live stream itself. The organizers encourage everyone to bring friends and show up in solidarity, creating a wave of support that’s both powerful and genuine.

Keeping the Momentum: Brian Eno's ‘Together For Palestine’ Impact

This broadcast arrives hot on the heels of another major fundraising and awareness initiative. Last week, the legendary Brian Eno hosted the Together For Palestine charity show at London’s OVO Arena Wembley, featuring a lineup that felt like a pop culture dream:

  • Damon Albarn (Blur, Gorillaz)
  • Paul Weller
  • Cat Burns
  • Rachel Chinouriri
  • Yasiin Bey (Mos Def)
  • Dan Smith (Bastille)

The evening was hosted by an eclectic mix of stars including Eric Cantona, PinkPantheress, Richard Gere, Benedict Cumberbatch, Florence Pugh, and Nicola Coughlan. The event was also livestreamed, extending its reach beyond the packed arena.

This massive musical gathering raised just under £1.5 million for the Together For Palestine Fund. The funds will support grassroots Palestinian organizations such as:

  • Taawon – Focused on community empowerment and development.
  • Palestine Children’s Relief Fund – Providing aid to children in need.
  • Palestine Medical Relief Service – Delivering critical healthcare services.

Brian Eno’s Message of Hope Amid Turmoil

In an interview captured at the event, Brian Eno shared a deeply moving message about hope and solidarity. For those feeling overwhelmed or helpless by the ongoing conflict, Eno offers a call to action rooted in optimism.

“Don’t be hopeless. You are in the middle of the biggest social movement in human history.” – Brian Eno

His words remind us that music and collective action can be powerful forces for change, encouraging fans worldwide to stay engaged and keep the conversation alive.

Bringing It All Together

The 15-hour Transmission For Palestine broadcast connects Dutch indie music lovers with a broader movement of compassion and activism. It’s a reminder of how art can amplify voices and inspire real-world impact. Whether you’re tuning in from your headphones or joining the community event, this is about more than just music—it’s about hope, support, and making a difference.
