Shine On: Palestine

The Alternative Eurovision

On May 10th, 2024, Galway will be the stage for a groundbreaking event that transcends borders and amplifies voices. “Shine On Palestine: The Alternative Eurovision” promises an unforgettable evening of solidarity, artistry, and support for Palestine.

Set against the backdrop of increasing global awareness and activism for Palestinian rights, this event is a beacon of hope and unity. Hosted at Leisureland, Galway, an impressive lineup of musicians and performers will take the stage at 7:30 PM.

The roster reads like a who’s who of Irish talent, featuring renowned artists such as Sharon Shannon, Mundy, Róisín El Cherif, and John Spillane. Their performances promise to be not only entertaining but also deeply meaningful, as they use their platforms to shine a light on the Palestinian cause.

Joining them are Mary Coughlan, Ultan Conlon & Band, and Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin, each bringing their unique style and perspective to the stage. Little John Nee, Dee Armstrong of Kíla, Tadhg Hickey, and Sarah Clancy are also set to captivate the audience with their performances.

But this event is more than just a concert; it’s a statement. A lineup that includes Abood Aladham, Sharon Murphy, Emma Lohan, Martin Leahy, Abdullah Al Bayyari, and Pádraig Stevens & Leo Moran of the Saw Doctors showcases the diversity and depth of support for Palestine within the Irish arts community.

From spoken word to rap, from traditional Irish music to contemporary sounds, the event promises something for everyone. With acts like Aindrias de Staic & The Latchikos, Aziz Abushark, Steo Wall, Abdelfattah Abusrour, Molly Sterling, and The Accidental Rapper, attendees will be treated to a dynamic and engaging cultural experience.

But perhaps most importantly, “Shine On Palestine” is a testament to the power of art and activism to effect change. With proceeds going towards supporting Apartheid-Free Arts and Apartrid, Irish artists for Palestine, attendees can be confident that their participation is making a difference.

In a world where the struggle for justice and equality is ongoing, events like this serve as reminders of the power of solidarity and the importance of standing up for what is right. So mark your calendars, get your tickets, and join us in Galway on May 10th to shine a light on Palestine and support a cause that transcends borders and unites us all.
