London’s live music calendar this autumn just got a serious standout – and it’s definitely something to take note of.


The Dublin-born rock band will be hitting the stage at The Troxy on October 17th as part of Gig for Gaza, a major one-night-only fundraiser bringing together artists from across generations in support of humanitarian relief for the people of Gaza.


With a lineup curated by the legendary Paul Weller, and a cause that couldn’t be more urgent, this is more than just a night out for music lovers – it’s a chance to see artists doing what they do best while lending their voice to a crisis that has shaken the world.


A Must-See Set from Inhaler


For Inhaler fans, this gig is something special. This show marks a rare opportunity to catch them live in such an intimate setting – and also in a setting that feels deeply personal and politically charged.


Whether you first connected with their explosive debut album, It Won’t Always Be Like This, or discovered them more recently, Inhaler’s energetic live presence and emotionally raw sound have earned them one of the most loyal fanbases on the alt-rock scene today. But seeing them perform in the context of solidarity, activism, and community? That’s something else entirely.


There’s power in watching artists use their platform not only to entertain but to amplify voices and raise funds for those in need. And for fans, it’s a reminder that the connection you feel through music can also be turned outward – toward something bigger.


The Full Lineup: Icons + Impact


Of course, Inhaler isn’t the only reason this night matters. Gig for Gaza brings together a stacked lineup of both iconic and contemporary acts, curated by none other than Paul Weller, whose long-standing legacy in both music and activism gives the event real credibility.


Here’s what to expect on the night:


  • Paul Weller – The man himself takes the stage with a full set.

  • Primal Scream – Psychedelic indie legends bring their politically charged sound.

  • Inhaler – Fan-favourite modern rock with anthems for a new generation.

  • Maverick Sabre – Stripped-back acoustic performance, rich in soul and protest energy.

  • Guest speakers + short films – Providing context on Gaza’s humanitarian crisis.

  • Visuals by Robert Del Naja (Massive Attack) – A unique audiovisual component designed by the activist-artist.



Why Gaza? Why Now?


This isn’t just another benefit gig.


The humanitarian situation in Gaza has reached devastating new lows, with international agencies describing it as one of the worst crises of our time. Over a million people have been displaced, hospitals and infrastructures are in ruins, and access to necessities like clean water, food, and shelter is severely limited.


In a landscape where political solutions feel distant and delayed, solidarity and direct aid matter more than ever.


That’s where Gig for Gaza steps in – not only to raise awareness, but to raise funds for two trusted organisations:


  • Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) – Currently leading one of their largest-ever emergency responses, providing trauma care, medical supplies, and support to hospitals across Gaza.

  • Gaza Forever – A grassroots charity delivering essentials like safe drinking water, tents, hygiene kits, and direct financial assistance to families impacted by displacement.


By attending this event, fans will directly contribute to these ongoing efforts – turning their ticket into tangible aid.


Music with Purpose


In recent years, we’ve seen more and more artists choosing to step up, speak out, and take action – using their platforms not just to entertain but to educate, support, and mobilise. Gig for Gaza is a perfect example of that shift, where music becomes a vehicle for resistance and healing.


For fans of Inhaler, this show offers something unique – the chance to witness the band in a live setting, yes, but also to be part of a wider community of people coming together for a purpose that transcends borders.


It’s easy to feel helpless when watching international crises unfold. But events like this remind us that collective action – even in the form of a concert ticket – can create meaningful impact.


So come for music. Stay for the message. And leave knowing you were part of something that mattered.
