Tickets for the show have been sold out.

Talking about his motivation for the event, said Crookes.

"I feel motivated to host this fundraising with Choose Love because I think the destruction we've seen in Gaza in the last 40 days is undeniable to be the most heartbreaking and the biggest humanitarian crisis I've seen in 25 years of my life," Crookes said. quoted from NME, Monday.

I feel that one of the greatest privileges of being a musician is our voice. We are able to speak out loud for those who are not heard. I hope we can gather on December 5 and create spaces of love, generosity, and affection," he continued.

Outside a fundraising concert for Gaza, Crookes' debut studio album Skin was released two years ago. The album reached the Top Five at the UK Albums Chart and he was nominated for the Rising Star Award at the 2020 Brits and Best Newcomers at the 2021 MOBO Awards.
