Artists United for Venezuela has officially announced a special benefit event scheduled for September 10th, 2026, at The Chocolate Factory in Brooklyn. This gathering serves as a vital initiative to support communities affected by the devastating earthquakes that struck Venezuela on June 24th, 2026. By bringing together a diverse array of DJs, live musicians, and visual artists, the event aims to foster solidarity and provide essential financial aid.
The program features an impressive lineup of talent, including MPeach, Nickodemus, Moon Boots, and Soul Clap’s Eli Goldstein, performing under his DJ E-Cology project. Attendees can also look forward to sets and performances by Acid Tourist (aka Holmar), Mafer Bandola, Uva ‘e Playa, Tambor y Caña, and VENEZONIX. Beyond the music, the event will offer an immersive cultural experience, complete with authentic Venezuelan street food and an open bar.
A Collective Act of Solidarity
Reflecting on the mission of the event, the organizers shared a powerful sentiment: "For Venezuelans, rhythm is a way of life. Dancing is a way to heal, reconnect, and move forward. The benefit is conceived as a collective catharsis on the dance floor and an act of solidarity honoring the invincible spirit of the people rising with dignity after the disaster."
All proceeds from ticket sales and donations will be directed toward non-profit organizations Yo Tengo Un Sueño and World Central Kitchen, both of which are actively working on the ground to provide relief.
Building Sustainable Support
Artists United for Venezuela is a collaborative initiative designed to unite global creative ecosystems for disaster relief. By pairing New York City artists and venues like The Chocolate Factory with the organization Parties4Peace, the coalition creates a sustainable framework for support. Key contributors to this effort include Maurizio Ceppi, Irene Mogollón, Cae Gonzalez, and EL CONSULADO. Furthermore, hubs such as Dos Puntos and Vista Bar Caracas continue to host live electronic music sessions to maintain momentum for the cause.
For those looking to contribute or attend, further information and tickets are available through the official event page.
