Bristol’s creative community will come together on Friday 15 May 2026 for a night of music, conversation and solidarity as The Steeze Factory, a Bristol-based cultural collective producing events at the intersection of music, activism and community, partners with Wake The Tiger to host a major fundraiser supporting humanitarian aid in Gaza.

The event will take place at Wake The Tiger’s immersive venue in St Philips, with all proceeds going to Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP), the UK charity delivering healthcare, medical supplies and training to Palestinian communities living under occupation and as refugees.
Organisers say the event is a response to the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
“The ceasefire never happened. Right now, people in Gaza urgently need medical care and the situation continues to deteriorate,” said Lucy Jarjoura at Wake The Tiger. “We cannot sit by and do nothing. This event is about bringing people together in solidarity and raising funds that will directly support life-saving medical aid.”
The evening will combine live music, political discussion and immersive art, bringing together artists, journalists and activists for a cultural fundraiser in one of Bristol’s most distinctive venues.
A live podcast discussion, hosted by journalist and broadcaster Iman Amrani, will feature Fiona Lali, Gaia Ahuja, Kieron Andrieu and Toddla T, exploring the humanitarian situation in Gaza and the role of artists, activists and media in responding to global crises. Additional guest speakers will join the programme, including representatives from organisations such as the Bristol Palestine Museum.
Music will run throughout, showcasing influential voices from across hip-hop, electronic and Bristol’s globally recognised bass music scene. The lineup includes Lowkey, the acclaimed British-Iraqi rapper and political commentator known for his politically charged music; Toddla T, the internationally respected producer and DJ whose genre-spanning sets have made him a fixture of UK club culture; DJ Die and Krust, pioneers of Bristol’s legendary Full Cycle collective and architects of the city’s drum and bass sound; Eva Lazarus, one of the UK’s most distinctive voices in reggae, jungle and bass music; and Anais, the Bristol-based DJ and vocalist known for her soulful house, broken beat and UK bass selections.
Hosted at Wake The Tiger, the world’s first Amazement Park®, attendees will also have access to the venue’s immersive art environment, featuring interactive installations, storytelling spaces and large-scale creative worlds spread across multiple rooms.
Alongside the programme, guests will also have the chance to win two tickets to Boomtown Festival plus Camp Orchid DT camping through an on-site raffle taking place during the event.
Doors open at 8:00pm, with the live podcast beginning at 8:30pm. The Wake The Tiger experience will open from 9:30pm until 12:30am, with DJ sets running throughout the night until 2:00am.
Organisers say the aim of the event is simple: to bring Bristol together in solidarity while raising vital funds for medical aid.
“This will be an unforgettable evening of music, conversation and community - all in support of people who urgently need medical care.”
The event is 18+ and tickets are £25, with all proceeds going directly to Medical Aid for Palestinians.
