Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.This year’s War Child Brits Week line-up has been announced, Alt-J, Rag’n’Bone Man, and Jessie Ware playing shows around London.
A total of ten gigs will take place in the week running up to the Brit Awards, with Wolf Alice, The Amazons, and The Vamps also playing shows.
There’s no way of buying tickets, instead you must enter a lottery by donating £5 to War Child. Rounding off the line-up are Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Laura Marling, Deaf Havana, and Kygo.
See the poster below and enter the draw for tickets – which opens 19 January – through this link.
Chief Executive BPI & BRIT Awards Geoff Taylor said of the shows: “BRITs Week is one of my favourite times of the year, when an eclectic mix of brilliantly talented artists come together in the exciting run up to the BRIT Awards to raise money and awareness for children whose lives are shattered by war, and at the same time celebrate the wonderful diversity of British music.
“This year we have an amazing 10 gigs on 8 nights, when we as fans can enjoy intimate performances from outstanding artists, while being reminded of the incredible power of music to do good and to help change people’s lives for the better. We are thrilled to be supporting War Child on its 25th anniversary.”
The Brits ceremony takes place on the 21 February.
