Duran Duran

Duran Duran and Bastille are going to play at tiny music venues to support War Child this coming February.

The singers are just some of the acts announced for the Passport Back To The Bars week of one-off events, raising funds for the charity that hopes to bring safety to children in war zones.

John Taylor, bassist for Duran Duran said: "Thousands of children are innocent victims in the war zones of adult conflict around the world. They are often being denied education and other basic human rights. We are looking forward to performing an exclusive event in London this coming February, in support of War Child and the important work they do in the regions where these children are suffering."

Bastille will perform exclusive shows and they're to be held in intimate venues in London and Manchester with capacities of 300 or less.

The announcement comes a decade since the original set of shows in aid of the charity and victims of the Iraq war, with acts at the time including Elbow and Amy Winehouse.

This series of performances are taking place as part of BRITs Week 2015 from February 16 to 24, and it's hoped huge amounts of money are to be made for the charity.

Further acts are expected to be added to the line-up in the coming weeks. To register for information visit www.warchild.org.uk/passport.
