The 2026 benefit show will mark Mustafa’s third Artists for Aid event. The first took place in New Jersey in 2024, and the second took place in July last year in London. The first event saw performances from Clairo, Stormzy, Omar Apollo, 6lack, 070 Shake, Charlotte Day Wilson, Mohammed El Kurd, Nick Hakim and more.

The London edition included Clairo, Blood Orange, King Krule, Bint Mbareh, Daniel Caesar, Earl Sweatshirt, Nicolás Jaar, Ramy Youssef and Yasiin Bey.

Last year, Mustafa earned a spot on both NME‘s 50 best albums of the year and 50 best songs of the year, with ‘Dunya’ and album cut ‘SNL’ respectively.

Speaking to NME last year for his Cover story, the poet and singer-songwriter reflected on his approach to music: “I just don’t have it in me to write the attack. No matter how much rage I approach the process with, it’s always translated into a kind of grace. Writing the songs forms the blueprint for how I walk back into those memories. In that way, it serves as a great mercy upon me.”
