Supplementing an exciting line-up of guests for her ‘SISTERS: Annie Lennox and Friends’ fundraising concert on March 6, Annie Lennox will be joined by the likes of Celeste, Ríoghnach Connolly, and Nadine Shah at London’s Royal Albert Hall in London
In a statement about her philanthropic event, the now 70-year old music icon said “I’m absolutely delighted to announce the line-up of artists, speakers and special guests taking part in The Circle’s inaugural SISTERS event!”
Lennox’s first UK headline show since 2019, the upcoming fete will raise money for The Circle, a global feminist organization that fights for a fairer, safer and equal world for women and girls.
Founded by Annie, the superstar songstress stated “It’s been amazing to have so many of my favorite artists answering the call to support The Circle’s mission of empowering women and girls globally.” “The fact that tickets sold out in minutes, has been life affirming, especially as I recently celebrated my 70th year on the planet!”
With Clara Amfo as host for the exclusive concert, activist Misan Harriman will be a special guest speaker at the event.
At press time, fifteen pairs of tickets for the show are available via a charity prize draw, and Annie is thrilled to be raising money for “some of the world’s most marginalized women and girls,” adding:
“I’m thrilled we can still offer a chance to attend, via the ‘For One Night Only’ prize draw, which includes access to the show and my soundcheck. The money raised will help support some of the world’s most marginalized women and girls. As women’s rights are being rolled back, the need has never been greater.”
With entries due to close on February 23, the prize drawing is now live on Crowdfunder, with fans encouraged to enter the draw via foronenightonly.org.
