The letter aimed to show “solidarity, support and love for the trans community at this vital time.” Numerous figures in the entertainment world have also expressed their support following the ruling, including Scissor Sisters, Perfume Genius, Garbage, Rachel Chinouriri, JADE, Lambrini Girls, and Billy Bragg.

Fans can look forward to an unforgettable night featuring some of the biggest names in music, all coming together for this important cause.
