# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Gil Scott-Heron by Brian Jackson & Yasiin Bey | RISING 2026
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 28 May, 2026 at 10:00 am (+10:00)
- **Event Description**: A world premiere at RISING 2026.  

Brian Jackson—Gil Scott-Heron’s original collaborator teams up with Yasiin Bey to celebrate the soulful, seminal music that brought black politics to the party. 

Last year, this lineage found a state of cosmic balance at RISING when Yasiin Bey reunited with Talib Kwali for their first ever Naarm show as Black Star. 

Now, in 2026, we’re going way deeper into that soulful energy in a world premiere. Bey is back and he’s going straight to the source—the godfather of rap Gil Scott-Heron and his musical muse, Brian Jackson, the godfather of consciousness soul. 

The revolution will not be televised. Come bear witness.
