Foals will headline a one-off charity gig in west London next month.

The four-piece, who last year released their double album Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost, will play at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire on Monday February 17.

It will come as part of the BRITs Week gig series, which will raise money for the charity War Child.

Speaking after the announcement, Foals frontman Yannis Philippakis said: “It’s an honour to be playing a show in support of War Child and their vital work with children affected by war.

“One in six children around the world live in a conflict zone and we’re proud to be able to use our platform to bring attention to this cause. It’s going to be a special night.”

Foals are the latest act announced for the series, with Bombay Bicycle Club, Catfish and the Bottlemen, Bastille and Sigrid also confirmed to play intimate shows around London.
