“We’rе the new genеration that shake things up.”
Punks for Palestine has unveiled the full line-up for its annual all day fest, which this will be raising funds for both The Sameer Project and Da’m. Taking place on May 4th at the New Cross Inn in London, which will be a familiar fixture for many, including those who attended Reality Unfolds earlier this year. The grassroots event will bring together a diverse line-up of artists including punk, alternative, hip-hop and more.
The final additions to this year’s line-up are Buds., Kematry, Ritual Error, Shooting Daggers, Speit and Unwitnessed. Both Shooting Daggers and Ritual Error have been regulars down the New Cross Inn over the years, both being local bands from the London area, with their post-punk and hardcore sound to bring a vibrant energy to the all dayer. Unwitnessed will play their first show here, the hardcore band featuring members from bands such as Kangia and Christina Carpenter. Kematry and Speit will join the likes of Yung Yusuf on the line-up, with their hip-hop or spoken word sound, which will ensure a wide variety of sounds.
All proceeds from Punks for Palestine VI will be divided between The Sameer Project, which provides direct humanitarian aid on the ground Gaza. Then Da’m, an organisation which supports activists and direct action groups within Britain, who are working to disrupt the illegal arms trade. Ensuring a dual focus on relief for those on the ground in Gaza and those working on domestic activism, addressing both the immediate humanitarian need alongside the longer-term political action here back in Britain. Since its inception in 2021, Punks for Palestine has raised over £10,000 for several charities, including Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP), the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund and the Palestine Red Crescent.
