The evening showcased a mix of music and spoken word, with appearances from Daniel Caesar, a Palestinian choir led by Bint Mbareh and Sudanese-American poet Safia Elhillo, rounding out a lineup that spanned genres and artistic disciplines.
A ‘PRESS’ bullet-proof vest clad Yasiin Bey took to the stage for their set, leading chants of “Free Sudan! Free Congo! Free Palestine! And Free WiFi!”, before Ramy Youssef delivered a stand up monologue. Surprise guest
FKA Twigs, meanwhile, brought the show to a close, performing an acoustic version of ‘
Cellophane’.
