[.lightbox]From Aarhus to Gaza was a benefit concert held on January 31, 2024, at Train in Aarhus. We are proud to have presented some of Denmark’s biggest Hip Hop artists who stood together on stage to send a strong message of humanity. In a time marked by challenges and hardship, Aarhus stood together in solidarity and support for those who need it most right now. The escalation in Gaza since October 7, 2023, has been described as a potential genocide by the UN and several human rights organizations, and we cannot ignore it. This evening was dedicated to raising awareness of the critical and fatal situation in Palestine, and all ticket proceeds from the concert went directly to support Gaza. A total of 414,605 DKK was raised[.lightbox]
