Bad Gyal, Oques Grasses, Tinariwen, and Zaho de Sagazan to headline Act x Palestine concert in Barcelona

International and national artists will join forces on January 29 to perform at the ACT x PALESTINE concert at Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona.

The line-up brings together a cross-section of the music scene, with names such as Morad, Oques Grasses, Bad Gyal, Mushka, Lluís Llach, Fermín Muguruza, Amaia and Yerai Cortés, among others. 

It also features international artists such as the legendary Tinariwen, travelling from Mali, and Zaho de Sagazan from France.

However, the "true center of gravity of the proposal," as announced by organizers, is the presence of Palestinian voices such as Zeyne and Lina Makoul, among other figures with enormous international reach.

Organizers warn that the line-up is "not yet final" as more artists and public figures will be announced in the coming weeks.

Tickets will go on sale online on Friday at 10 am, priced from €25 to €45. A “row zero” option will also be available for those who cannot attend the concert but wish to make a solidarity donation.

Several Catalan figures will also take part in the concert, such as football coach Pep Guardiola, actor Eduard Fernández, music band Ginestà and music duo Svetlana.

Beyond music, the event will include stage and audiovisual proposals. Individuals and organizations linked to culture, such as Eduard Fernández or La Fura dels Baus, will take part, and audiovisual pieces created by film crews who have travelled to Palestine in recent weeks will be presented.

Earlier this year, the ACT x Palestine civil society group organized a football game featuring the Catalan national team against the Palestinian national team at the Olympic Stadium.

"The score doesn't matter, this is more than a game," Ahmed, from Gaza and studying in Barcelona, told Catalan News moments before the Catalonia-Palestine friendly.

The match drew over 30,000 spectators to the Olympic Stadium, part of an initiative aimed at sending a "message of hope and solidarity" to the Palestinian people.
