Bastille added to War Child line-up
All profits go to charity
Bastille are the latest addition to the line-up of this year’s War Child 'Back to the Bars' – a charity event in collaboration with 02, supporting child victims of war.
Other acts set to take to the stage include Duran Duran, Elbow, The Vaccines, You Me At Six and Ride.
Bastille said: “Seeing the news over the last twelve months, we’re very happy to be able to do something to try and help support the children caught up in these terrible wars.
“We’re also excited about doing our first show in a few years. We always loved playing the intimate gigs that Sofar Sounds put on, and it’s great to do another one whilst also trying to do something positive for War Child.
“I hope our fans get as excited about this event as we are and that they are generous in their support of War Child and all of its work in trying to get tickets to join us.”
Tickets to the show are available by lottery from www.warchild.org.uk/passport or by texting the band’s keyword to 88450. The lottery closes at midnight on 8th February 2015.
Each entry costs £4.50 and gives a chance of winning a pair of tickets to the chosen show.
