All-star concert for Médecins Sans Frontières to take place on ‘private residence' in Wicklow
Tickets for the event in Delgany are not on general sale and anyone interested in attending needs to secure a place by email.
Details were posted on with the all-star gathering, called 'The Raise 2025', billed as 'a music event organised by a collective of creatives, to generate support and awareness for the important work of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). More specifically, MSF's work in the occupied territories of Palestine'.
"As many of us have watched from afar the devastation unfold in Gaza, a common response resounds: What can be done? What can I do?', it continues.
'In a small way, we hope that The Raise creates an opportunity for people to do something tangible through raising support for MSF.
'The Raise will take place in Delgany, County Wicklow on [Saturday] August 30. The Raise will be a day long concert involving some of the most celebrated artists and musicians Ireland has to offer: Kíla, Steve and Joe Wall (The Stunning), Declan O' Rourke, Anna Mieke, Paddy Casey, Mundy and lots more . . . we will hear from MSF workers about their experience in Gaza and, in so much as we are able, stand in support of them and the people they are serving.'
While there is no link to buy tickets, the organisers explained: 'The Raise is a private event on a private residence, it is not exclusive, persons over 18 are welcome to email theraise2025@ to reserve a spot, but places are limited. A suggested minimum donation of €100 is encouraged if attending the event.'
