In a hostile enviroment for Trans+ rights and a year of rollbacks of rights since the Supreme Court ruling on the Equality Act will be a sharp focus, for 12,500 Trans+ people, allies, and some of the UK’s most loved household names as they gather in Wembley Arena on March 11th 2026, for Transmission Live - a significant intervention from the music industry, and changemakers to bring allies together, in step, to advocate for the needs, and rights, of the Trans+ Community.


Together with Not A Phase's Maxine Heron, QueerAF speaks to organiser Olly Alexander, and broadcaster, author and model Munroe Bergdorf to explore the cultural signifigance of the concert - but also to examine: When you’re a defacto minority, you just don’t have the numbers to deliver all the change you need - and that’s where getting allies to pick up the charge, really counts.


Could this event be a significant and historical intervention from some of the UK's biggest household names?
