"I believe that in these times, community action isn't just important it's essential! We need real and lasting change. Through solidarity, creativity and collective fundraising, we can fight back against the politics of fear and exclusion and build a world where everyone can thrive. I am very fortunate to know and work closely alongside incredible trans and non-binary people whose creativity and presence are essential to the cultural fabric we all share. Trans Mission is going to be a special and unforgettable night, and I'm excited to share the stage with so many wonderful people I hugely admire."
"It is time we came together, got organised and unite to fight back against the hate. This is about allyship, empathy and holding up those we love."
"The concert will raise funds for the Good Law Project, a charity that uses the law to push for change and government accountability, and trans-led charity Not a Phase."
An all-star Trans Mission benefit concert will take place at Wembley Arena to support trans rights. The event is organised by Olly Alexander and the Mighty Hoopla festival and features artists including Sugababes, Wolf Alice, Romy, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Christine and the Queens, Beth Ditto, Beverley Knight, Kae Tempest and others.
