Acts will include:

47 Soul: in 2013, four of the most prominent young Palestinian artists, from different regions, united across borders to form 47SOUL. Their music combines the traditional Palestinian street music, Dabke dance, with other Middle Eastern grooves from Iraq to North Africa and influences including reggae, soul, and hip-hop. Their lyrics, mixing Arabic and English, spread the universal message for peace, freedom, and equality, inside Palestine and throughout the world.

Kamil Kamikazi: a spoken word artists born and raised in Birmingham. As a British Pakistani Muslim he is inspired to write about the human experience in relation to culture, religion and politics in a storytelling style. Much of his time is put into Palestinian activism as well as working with the disabled and disenfranchised to use spoken word as a therapeutic conduit.

Al-Zaytouna: a UK-based, Palestinian dance theatre troupe aiming to provide diverse audiences with the opportunity to experience Palestinian culture through performances and workshops.
