Ed Sheeran will play an intimate charity show in London next month.
The superstar singer-songwriter will headline the Union Chapel on October 11 for what will be the first gig of the new Wellstock x For One Night Only series.
Tickets will be allocated via a charity prize draw. For a chance to win two tickets you must text ED to 84903 (texts will be charged at your standard network rate) or visit foronenightonly.org to enter online or by post. 300 pairs of tickets are available.
Wellstock was created by singer Will Young to raise awareness and funds for numerous different mental health charities, and the new gig series is a fundraising endeavour to benefit those same charities.
Profits from Sheeran's gig will go to Shout, the UK’s first and only free, 24/7, confidential mental health text support service. Sheeran said:
“I am excited to announce that I have teamed up with For One Night Only for this very special one-off concert. It's the first in a series of events they’ll be creating and will be a brilliant night in an intimate and special venue.
“For One Night Only is holding the event in partnership with Will Young and his “Wellstock” initiative and it will help to raise funds for the mental health service Shout, who are doing important work by providing free, 24/7 text support to thousands of people every day.
“The conversation around mental health is such an important one. We all have mental health, we all need to talk about it and there is also a need to have places to go when we are struggling. You have the chance of joining me in London on October 11th 2022 by entering the charity prize draw at foronenightonly.org and you can support Shout by making a £10 donation.
“It’s For One Night Only and no tickets will be on sale for the event. Hope to see you there. Ed.”
Will Young added: “Wellstock has been an idea of mine for a long time. The aims are to use events to bring mental health awareness to the fore whilst also looking at fundraising and with an overview of acceptance, validation and blowing away the shame that can attach itself to feeling anything other than happiness.
“We are thrilled to align with the charity Shout and For One Night Only to create our first unique event with Ed Sheeran with more to come next year. Ed’s event is going to be super special with more news to come very soon.
“Always know you are not alone, you are seen, you are heard and you are validated.”
