An all-day gig featuring some of the rising stars of Glasgow's punk scene will beheld next month.

The Solidarity All Dayer will run from 2pm to 11pm on Saturday, November 8 at the Audio Lounge in Maryhill, with money raised going to the Hebron International Resource Network.

The organisation supports Palestinians living near to Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, working to keep them in their communities.

The show is being put on by Teen Warfare, Glasgow musicians for Palestine and PalCafe Glasgow.

Glasgow Musicians for Palestine said: "The Solidarity All Dayer, is an attempt at further uniting the growing DIY punk scene in Glasgow, for a good cause. It features a diverse line-up of bands, each playing their own version of punk, but all doing so to raise money for the Hebron International Resource Network.

"On top of the fundraising, the aims of the gig are to introduce people to the small community that we have built within our scene, and to get more likeminded people involved. We will never turn anyone away for lack of funds and put an emphasis on making sure people feel welcome.

"Some of the featured bands will also be playing the protest gig outside of the hydro on the 28th October, against David Draiman of Disturbed."

The metal band will play at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow on October 28, but singer Draiman has attracted criticism for his actions around the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

In June last year he posted an image of him signing an artillery shell while visiting with the Israel Defence Forces.

Tickets for the Solidarity All Dayer are available here.
