Colour Factory, Venue MOT and Corsica Studios to host Palestine fundraisers this bank holiday weekend
The parties are set to include appearances from artists who have withdrawn participation in Superstruct/KKR-owned festivals this weekend
London nightclubs Colour Factory, Venue MOT and Corsica Studios are set to host separate fundraising parties to support Palestinian aid charities this weekend.
On Saturday (May 24) Colour Factory will host INTERVENTION & DISSENTIENTZ. presents AGITATE, an emergency fundraiser featuring sets from re:ni, Karlie Marx, Ifeoluwa and more, with funds being directed to both aid organisations in Gaza and support for activists in the UK.
Also on Saturday, Corsica Studios will be throwing its own Palestine Relief Fundraiser to raise money for the Sameer Project and War Child.

The party will feature sets from artists who have withdrawn participation in this weekend's Field Day festival, following boycott calls over the investments of its parent company KKR — including Regularfantasy, Dresden (AKA Ivan Smagghe and Manfredas), Sarahtonin, Ariane V and Spray.
On Sunday, Sisu Crew have teamed up with Venue MOT for STRIKEFEST — billed as a "bank holiday boycott special", the event is free to attend but will give punters the opportunity to donate to its strike fund on the door.

Many of the artists on the billing have similarly withdrawn from Field Day and other Superstruct/KKR-owned events, including Sisu Crew artists who had been set to host a stage at the Brockwell Park-based festival.
