ABOUT

The Rebuild Beirut Benefit Concert Series will be a weekly event, beginning on the one month mark of the terrible blast that rocked Beirut August 4th, and continuing for 4 weeks that will spotlight and showcase Lebanese, Arab, and Arab & MENA diaspora artists mixed with popular artists from around the world. The event will be a telethon style fundraiser featuring rotating hosts giving important context and background, making appeals for giving, and introducing the artists. The goals of the event are to raise funds for organizations and initiatives doing immediate as well as longer term work to help Beirut and Lebanon rebuild and recover (particularly for marginalized groups like the LGBTQ community, migrant workers, and refugees living in Lebanon), to make the benefit a space for sharing info and connecting with resources on the ground, and to help create a community that lives beyond the events for artists, musicians, and creators in Beirut to collaborate.
