SCOTTISH hip-hop artists are to perform a gig to raise money for aid for those living in Palestine.
The gig will feature a range of artists and is to be held at Stereo in Glasgow on November 2.
The event will be held from 7pm-11pm and people attending are encouraged to “pay what they can”.
Money raised will be donated to Medical Aid for Palestine.
A confirmed list of artists for the event includes:
- Mistah Bohze
- Loki
- Erin Friel
- Jackal Trades
- Tickle x T3xtur3
- CCTV
- Werd (SOS)
A poster for the event added that more acts are still to be confirmed.
It comes after the SNP’s deputy Westminster leader told Rishi Sunak at PMQs that a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas could be the “only way” to prevent the conflict from engulfing the Middle East.
She said: “The growing calls for a ceasefire is also about calming the situation in the broader region, especially the West Bank.
“Unicef has reported over 2000 fatalities and over 5000 injured children since the conflict began due to unrelenting attacks.

“If we ignore this, we risk pouring petrol on a fire in a place that only requires a spark to ignite.
“Can the Prime Minister understand that joining calls for a ceasefire is now the best and maybe the only way to stop this conflict escalating beyond control?”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
