Coldplay have announced that, on Saturday, 10th December 2011, they will host Under 1 Roof, a benefit concert in support of the charity Kids Company at the O2 Arena in London.
Stars turning out for Under 1 Roof, featuring live music and comedy, include Coldplay, Tinie Tempah, Emeli Sandé, Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan as Alan Partridge.
Coldplay are long-term supporters of Kids Company and have pulled together the line-up at London’s world-famous O2 Arena to raise funds for the London-based charity. Established in 1996, Kids Company works across 4 centres and in 40 schools helping vulnerable children and young people in some of the most deprived areas of London.
Speaking about the concert, 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 said: “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 for Under 1 Roof, hosted by Coldplay, go on sale at 9am on Friday 25th November. The concert takes place on Saturday 10th December 2011 at London's O2 Arena.
