Muse have been announced as the headline act for the anticipated annual War Child BRIT Awards Concert at London's Shepherd’s Bush Empire, set to take place two nights before the 2013 BRIT Awards ceremony.
 This event marks the start of War Child’s 20th Anniversary Year, and comes ahead of War Child’s Special Recognition Award to be presented at the BRIT Awards. Muse are nominated for British Group and British Live Act at the 2013 BRIT Awards.
The War Child BRIT Awards Concert is a celebration of great live music and the power of music to change people’s lives. All ticket proceeds will go to aid War Child's work with children in war zones across the world.
This is the fifth year of War Child and O2’s annual BRIT Awards Concert, hosted at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire. Having raised over £600,000 in the last four years, the night is a firm fixture on the music calendar and has staged unique performances from Coldplay, The Killers, Blur, Kasabian, Ed Sheeran and Mark Ronson.
Muse frontman Matt Bellamy said today: “We are proud to have a continuing association with War Child, who have been doing amazing work over the last 20 years. It’s great to see their efforts being recognised at this year’s BRITs and we are really looking forward to playing this special show for them”.
Ben Knowles, Director of Fundraising and Music at War Child, says: “This year is a special one for War Child and we’re delighted to welcome one of the world’s biggest and best live bands play for us to launch our 20th Anniversary year and celebrate our Special Recognition BRIT Award.
Music gives War Child an incredible platform to talk about the unacceptable impact that conflict has on innocent children and it helps us engage the support we need to do something about it. We are very grateful to Muse for joining us, and to O2 for their ongoing support.”
This will be a special, one-off, intimate show from a band currently gracing massive arenas on their US tour. This summer Muse return to the UK to play Coventry’s Ricoh Stadium, London’s Emirates Stadium and Manchester’s Etihad Stadium.
