The show at the Shepherd’s Bush Empire on February 23, which is partnered by O2, will raise money for children effected by violence in war zones including Iraq, Syria, Democratic Republic of Congo, Afghanistan, Uganda and Central African Republic.
Ben Knowles, director of music at War Child, says: “The show has seen some unforgettable performances over the last six years, including Gary Barlow joining Coldplay, The Killers and Bono for a legendary encore in 2009. War Child are delighted to welcome back Gary together with Mark and Howard to London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire and to announce Take That as our headliners for 2015. It’s going to be an incredible night for 2,000 lucky fans and an important one for the thousands of children it will help War Child save from the horrors of war.”
Tickets are priced at £75 and O2 customers can get priority tickets 48 hours before general release from 9am on Wednesday by downloading Priority in the app store.
Tickets go on sale to the general public from 9am on Friday from ticketweb.co.uk.
