Stefflon Don to headline Safe & Sound gig in aid of War Child

The rapper headlines EartH in London on September 4

After debuting last year, War Child is bringing its Safe & Sound event series back for two charity gigs at London venue EartH.

Sundara Karma plays alongside Phoebe Gree and Alfie Templeman on August 28, before Stefflon Don headlines on September 4.

The gigs are aiming to raise awareness of “the importance of mental health for young people and the psychosocial needs for children in war, alongside highlighting the mental health needs for those in the music industry.”

Talking about the event, Stefflon Don said: “I feel honoured that War Child have asked me to play a show for them. No child should have to deal with the consequences of war and the thought of them doing this is alone is heartbreaking. War Child is an amazing charity protecting, educating and standing up for children affected by war.”

Tickets for each gig cost £20, and are on sale now via Skiddle.
