Scottish rockers Biffy Clyro will headline the O2 Shepherds Bush Empire on February 20 as part of this year’s BRITs Week with War Child gig series.
The BRITs Week with War Child gig series offers fans the chance to see some of the biggest names in music in intimate venues across London, while raising money for children whose lives have been affected by war.
In 2016, War Child raised a record breaking £564,768 together with O2 as part of BRITs Week, with thousands of people applying for tickets to see artists such as Bloc Party, Jamie XX, Florence + The Machine and Coldplay.
