Music stars of indie, rock and roll and dance are joining forces to perform at a series of secret gigs throughout London to support homeless charity Crisis.
The series of Hidden Gigs throughout May and June will be an opportunity to see top acts in intimate, unusual spaces, making for a unique musical experience. The big twist is that the venues will remain ‘hidden’ until the day of the gig, whereby a text or email message will be sent to the ticket holders.
By withholding details until the last minute, Crisis aims to raise awareness of the situation facing hidden homeless people in the UK, not knowing where they may end up each night and often moving from place to place. In the same way that the music and gigs will be exposed on the day of the gig, Crisis hopes to expose and highlight the truth about homelessness today.
Tickets are available from Wednesday and all proceeds from the tickets will go to help Crisis help the homeless.
Artists will be announced shortly so watch this space!!

Al Doyle from Hot Chip has recorded a new video starring hidden homeless people. As part of their involvement in the Crisis Hidden Gigs campaign Al recently took time out from recording their new album to direct a unique version of their infamous Over and Over song. The video was recorded at the Crisis headquarters in central London with members of the Skylight program. The stars of the video have all experienced homelessness and received support from Crisis.
