This time however, Mustafa is taking to the stage himself and is joined by artist Blood Orange, American songwriter Clairo, rapper Earl Sweatshirt, producer Nicolas Jaar, rapper & actor Yasiin Bey, home based King Krule will also be playing as well as Daniel Caesar, Bint Mbareh, and Ramy Youssef.  

Mustafa, the Sudanese Canadian artist, said on Instagram: “London! Sudan is calling. Sudan is calling. Every artist here is a hero of empathy; thank you for answering our call.  

“There is a war; strike a chord, cry an answer.”
