It's a chance to see them play in much smaller venues, and all for a good cause.

Bastille and Damon Albarn can both sell out arenas, but as part of BRITs Week 2022, they'll be playing intimate shows to raise money for charity.

The proceeds from the show will go towards the War Child charity. They aim to help children when conflict breaks out, and then support them through recovery.

The BRIT Awards will take place at The O2 in London on February 8, and this series of gigs will take place around it.

Called the BRITs Week presented by Mastercard for War Child, it will begin on February 1 with Anne-Marie performing at Lafayette.

Bastille are scheduled to play at Earth Theatre on February 2, while Damon Albarn will play the final show at the Troxy in London on February 20.

Other artists due to play include Joy Crookes, Maisie Peters, Becky Hill, Mimi Webb and Craig David.

More artists are going to be announced next month.

Mastercard cardholders have exclusive pre-sale access to the gigs, starting at 10am on Thursday (December 16).

Tickets will then go on general sale from 10am on Friday (December 17).

A prize draw to win tickets will also commence on Friday.

Entries will be accepted until January 23.
