Lucy Dacus & Chappell Roan Cover The Magnetic Fields At Artists For Aid Benefit

Last night the third iteration of Mustafa's Artists For Aid benefit concert series went down at Los Angeles' Shrine Ballroom, with proceeds supporting relief efforts in Palestine and Sudan. The event was hosted by Bella Hadid and Pedro Pascal, and featured sets from Clairo (her first performance sing having to drop off November's Camp Flog Gnaw lineup), Geese (their first performance since successfully playing Camp Flog Gnaw), Blood Orange, Alex G, Faye Webster, 070 Shake, Lucy Dacus, and more.

Dacus' set — her first performance since Mayor Zohran Mamdani's inauguration — featured a surprise appearance from Chappell Roan, and backed by Alan Good Parker the two of them did a cover of the Magnetic Fields' 69 Love Songs classic "The Book Of Love." Roan discussed why it's "the greatest song she's ever heard in her entire life" on a podcast back in 2022.

"My friend cold FaceTimed me a few days ago and said, ‘Can I come sing with you at the show?'" Dacus said, introducing her friend to wild applause. Proceeds from Artists For Aid benefit the Sudanese American Physicians Association and the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, and Mustafa wrote on Instagram that the event raised $5.5 million, "a historic win for people being buried at the hands of hells that are subsidised by us."
