All proceeds of the event will go to Crisis UK, a national charity that seeks to provide resources for homeless people, and those in dire situations across the UK. The ongoing global pandemic has meant that many people are struggling more than ever, and the charity promises to help as many individuals as possible get the resources they need.
The event will feature collaborations from artists such as Jarvis Cocker, Superorganism, Dillon Francis, Django Django and more. Cocker recently collaborated with the band on their latest single ‘Straight To The Morning’, receiving rave reviews from fans and critics alike.
The band spoke about the event with excitement and passion, speaking highly of the charity.
“We’re glad to be able to support the essential work that Crisis is doing with the homeless community at this time of year when so many factors combine to make life extremely difficult for vulnerable people on the streets or in temporary accommodation,” The group said in the statement.
