news: Tuesday 22nd November 2011

Coldplay have announced they will host Under 1 Roof, a benefit concert in support of the charity 'Kids Company' offering a night of comedy and music at London's O2 Arena on Saturday 10th December.

The event will feature acts including Tinie Tempah, Emeli Sandé, Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan as Alan Partridge.

Coldplay hope to raise funds for the London-based charity Kids Company who work with vulnerable children and young people in some of the most deprived areas of London. Established in 1996, the charity works across 4 centres and in 40 schools.

Kids Company Founder and CEO, Camila Batmanghelidjh commented, "Coldplay’s continuing support is fantastic. They have already provided funds to help thousands of children who have suffered violence and neglect. How amazing that they are now being joined by other generous friends for Under 1 Roof, to establish what we hope will become a regular event, generating vital support for many more children in years to come."

Coldplay added, "Kids Company is a phenomenal organisation that is very close to our hearts. We hope that people get behind the event to raise as much money for Kids Company as possible. On our side, we can promise anyone that buys a ticket that they’ll be part of a very special night."

Tickets go on sale at 9am on Friday 25th November and eGigs will have links to buy them then.
