The International Call for Peace

The ongoing violence in Gaza has prompted various reactions from different quarters of the music world. Last month, the Musicians' Union called for an urgent humanitarian ceasefire, while the Musicians For Palestine collective, consisting of over 4000 artists including Pulp, Lucy Dacus and Sleater-Kinney, have all demanded peace. Influential voices like Sam Fender and Dua Lipa have also called for a ceasefire and action from world leaders.
