bbno$ is bringing musicians and internet creators together in Los Angeles for “The Internet for Palestine,” an all-ages benefit whose proceeds are designated for the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF). The event is scheduled for Saturday, November 7, at Shrine Expo Hall, with doors opening at 5 p.m. local time and the program beginning at 6 p.m.
The announced lineup spans several corners of online music and creator culture: MC Abdul, 6arelyHuman, Ellise, Joost, Mxmtoon, RomancePlanet, Ricky Montgomery, Scene Queen, Smosh and Sophie Powers are included in the initial bill. That breadth is central to what makes this more than a conventional rap concert. Its audience potential is distributed across fan communities built around pop, alternative scenes, internet-native music and digital comedy as well as hip-hop.
All proceeds from the show are set to go to PCRF, an organization providing medical and humanitarian assistance for children in the Levant. Its stated approach is to serve children regardless of nationality or religion. The organization’s current Gaza relief and recovery work includes medical care, food, clean water and basic supplies, alongside efforts to rebuild health-care capacity and support children dealing with trauma.
A benefit built around an internet-era lineup
Benefit concerts have historically depended on the reach of a small number of major headliners. “The Internet for Palestine” takes a different, creator-era route: a varied lineup whose individual audiences may be distinct, but whose combined reach can carry a charitable message across platforms and subcultures that do not always overlap.
That matters because creator culture is not simply a promotional add-on to music. Artists and personalities with online communities can translate attention into several forms of participation: attendance, awareness of the beneficiary, sharing event information and longer-term interest in humanitarian work. A bill that includes musicians alongside Smosh, for example, reflects a format in which the performers’ platforms are part of the event’s public-facing value.
The practical promise is clear. A one-night performance creates an immediate fundraising moment, while the participating communities can introduce PCRF’s work to people who may not otherwise encounter it. The limits are equally clear: a live benefit is time- and place-specific. Its direct impact therefore rests on the event proceeds, while its wider impact depends on whether the visibility around the show leads audiences to learn about the organization’s work beyond the venue.
bbno$ framed his advocacy directly in an Instagram post, writing: “It’s the duty of an artist to use their voice to stand up for the oppressed.” He had previously asked fellow artists in September to help organize a show for Palestine.
What PCRF’s work covers
The Palestine Children’s Relief Fund is the designated beneficiary, so the medical context is as important as the concert roster. PCRF describes its Gaza relief and recovery campaign as encompassing urgent necessities including care, food, clean water and essential supplies. It also includes longer-horizon work: rebuilding health care and helping children address trauma.

Those categories point to different needs rather than a single uniform intervention. Humanitarian relief refers here to immediate assistance intended to meet essential needs, such as food, water, supplies and care. Recovery describes work that continues beyond the immediate emergency, including restoring health-care services. Trauma support addresses the psychological effects that children can experience alongside physical injury, displacement and disruption.
Medical need can also take forms that are less visible than emergency relief. PCRF said its Regional Surgical Program assisted 357 children in September: 221 in the West Bank, 82 in Lebanon, 36 in Jordan and 18 in Egypt. It further reported that 1,470 children received life-enhancing surgeries through that program in the first half of 2026.
The phrase life-enhancing surgeries is significant in this context. It indicates care intended to improve a child’s health, function or quality of life, rather than limiting the picture to crisis response alone. The available figures do not detail every procedure or outcome, but they show that the organization’s medical work is regional and includes surgical treatment alongside its Gaza-focused relief and recovery efforts.
How this event fits a wider artist-led push
The Los Angeles benefit arrives after other music-industry fundraising efforts involving PCRF. In September, Macklemore committed $1 million in net earnings from Ed Sheeran’s Loop Tour to six organizations assisting Palestinians, including PCRF. His own “Free Palestine Tour” concluded on October 30 at London’s OVO Arena Wembley, where the venue committed concert proceeds to 12 organizations, again including PCRF.
Those efforts should not be treated as one shared campaign or pooled donation. They are separate commitments with different structures, venues and beneficiary lists. Their connection is that each places PCRF among the organizations receiving support, while demonstrating how artists and venues can use proceeds, earnings or event programming to direct resources toward humanitarian groups.
There is an important distinction between an artist donating net earnings and a benefit designating all proceeds to a charity. Net earnings generally refers to the amount remaining after relevant costs are accounted for. Proceeds refers to money generated by the event or activity. The two terms are not interchangeable, and the public commitments described here use them differently. For attendees and supporters, the key fact for bbno$’s show is the stated commitment that all proceeds will go to PCRF.
Artist advocacy also carries a public role beyond fundraising. When musicians and creators attach their names and audiences to a cause, they can make the beneficiary’s mission more visible. That attention can invite engagement, but it can also create expectations of clarity: who receives the funds, what the organization does and what a particular pledge actually covers. In this case, the beneficiary and purpose are plainly identified—support for PCRF’s medical and humanitarian work for children.
Why the venue details matter
The event is listed as all ages at Shrine Expo Hall. That designation broadens access for younger fans and families, while the stated door and start times provide the basic schedule currently available: 5 p.m. for doors and 6 p.m. for the show, local time.
Nothing in the available event details establishes a final running order, set lengths, additional performers, ticketing terms or other logistical specifics. With an initial lineup that combines musicians and creators, audiences should avoid assuming how the appearances will be structured. A multi-community benefit can include many kinds of participation, and the announced names establish involvement without defining the format of every segment.
For the participants, the shared bill also illustrates a broader change in entertainment charity events. Online personalities are not merely there to amplify a concert after the fact; they can be part of the attraction itself. That gives a benefit access to audiences organized around channels, social platforms and fandoms rather than a single genre. The result is an event designed to make aid-oriented fundraising legible to a wider internet audience.
The show’s cultural mix may be its most practical strength. MC Abdul, 6arelyHuman, Ellise, Joost, Mxmtoon, RomancePlanet, Ricky Montgomery, Scene Queen and Sophie Powers each bring music audiences with different listening habits, while Smosh represents a major creator presence. Rather than asking one fanbase to carry the entire event, the benefit assembles multiple communities around one stated destination for the proceeds.
Music, visibility and a defined beneficiary
“The Internet for Palestine” is a specific local event with a clearly stated charitable aim, not a substitute for the sustained work required in medical and humanitarian response. Its role is more focused: use a live show and the reach of its participants to generate proceeds for PCRF and draw attention to the organization’s ongoing work.
That framing makes the beneficiary’s program details especially relevant. The reported September surgical figures—357 children across the West Bank, Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt—offer a concrete measure of the regional medical work linked to PCRF. The 1,470 life-enhancing surgeries reported for the first half of 2026 add further scale, while the Gaza relief campaign shows that the organization’s work also includes food, water, supplies, health-care rebuilding and trauma support.
For readers following the intersection of entertainment and public advocacy, the event is another example of artists using audience infrastructure for a charitable purpose. It also sits alongside wider conversations about how musicians direct revenue and visibility toward causes; music-business questions around contracts and streaming pay offer a separate view of how financial structures shape an artist’s public work.
On November 7, bbno$’s show will put that principle into a concrete format: an all-ages Los Angeles gathering, a roster built across music and internet culture, and a commitment to send all proceeds to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund.
