Proceeds from the concerts will benefit the charity, which supports children affected by conflict.

The Blur and Gorillaz star will close out the concert series on February 20 at the Troxy, with a set of cuts from his latest LP, ‘The Nearer The Mountain, More Pure The Stream Flows‘, plus fan-favourites from his career.

Meanwhile, Anne-Marie will kick things off on February 1 with a gig at Lafayette, before Bastille play at Earth Theatre on February 2.

Acts including Becky Hill, Mimi Webb and Craig David will also appear, with the garage legend hitting the stage at Under The Bridge on February 17. 

Ben Anderson, Head of Live at War Child, said: “We are delighted to be working with BPI and AEG once again on another BRITs Week series.

“Whilst there was a temporary pause on all things live music over the past 12 months or so, there was no pause to the challenges facing children who live in conflict zones around the world. 

“With conflict rates on the rise, and more children at risk, our work as a charity is never more needed. 

“The whole music team and the wider War Child teams are very excited to be working on a fantastic series of gigs. 

“There are some real treats for fans to see their favourite artists in some venues across the capital that they wouldn’t normally play, and we look forward to not only the gigs but also to raising much needed funds and awareness of the fantastic work that War Child do.”

Mastercard cardholders have exclusive pre-sale access to all shows, while the prize draw opens on Friday, December 17 at www.britsweekwarchild.co.uk. 

The 2022 BRIT Awards with Mastercard take place on February 8 at The O2 in London, with new host Mo Gilligan taking the reins. 

The nominations will be unveiled on ITV’s ‘The BRITs Are Coming’ on Saturday, December 18.
