BRITs Week 25 for War Child UK, has unveiled the acts for their anticipated shows ahead of this year’s BRIT Awards.
Delivered by DHL, BRITs Week 2025 for War Child UK will take place from 17th February to 5th March 2025, showcasing an impressive line-up of intimate performances by some of the world's most renowned artists at venues across the UK.
This unique event not only offers fans the chance to experience incredible live music in an intimate setting, but it also supports a vital cause.
Culminating around The BRIT Awards on 1st March, the week-long series of events will help raise much-needed funds for War Child, an organisation dedicated to protecting, educating, and advocating for children affected by conflict.
All proceeds from the events will directly support War Child's efforts to provide life-saving assistance and long-term support to vulnerable children around the world.
Clare Sanders-Wright, Live Music Lead at War Child says: “BRITs Week is back for the 12th year running and I am ecstatic to announce this year’s stellar line up. The shows for BRITs Week are always so special, giving fans a chance to see their favourite musicians in beloved small venues.
“Children don’t start wars, and this past year has been devastating, with children bearing the unimaginable cost of conflicts they hold no responsibility for. War Child is forever grateful to the artists and their teams who are giving their time to make these shows happen, in support of War Child’s mission to support and provide a brighter future for children affected by war and to share our mission statement that No Child Should Be A Part Of War - Ever.”
Fans can look forward to an incredible lineup of performances, with Ben Brown supporting Frank Turner, Message From the Ravens joining Nova Twins, Soft Play, and many more.
The event kicks off on 17th February with Cat Burns at MOTH Club in Hackney and runs through to 5th March, featuring performances from major artists like Kasabian, Clean Bandit, and Rag’n’Bone Man. By attending these intimate, one-off shows, fans not only get to see their favourite artists up close—they are also directly supporting War Child’s vital work.
BRITs Week 25 serves as a reminder that while the music industry is full of glitz and glamour, it’s the human connections and collective efforts to help those in need that truly make an impact. Fans who get involved are contributing to rebuilding lives, one song at a time.
