Irish stars CMAT and Cian Ducrot are set play at this year’s BRITs Week in aid of War Child.

The lineup also features the likes of The Last Dinner Party, Sleaford Mods, Keane, Baby Queen, Pendulum, Aitch and You Me At Six.

The event, taking place around London from Feburary 19-March 4, showcases artists performing intimate, one-of-a-kind gigs. The series has raised £7m (€8.1m) for the charity since its first iteration in 2009, helping children whose lives have been ravaged by conflict.

Fans can enter prize draws to win tickets to see an artist of their choosing by donating to War Child.

The War Child pre-sale will be available at 10am on January 18 for those who subscribe here before 3pm on January 17. General sale starts from 10am on January 19.

Winner of Hot Press Album of The Year for her sophomore LP Crazymad, For Me, CMAT was recently added to the five-artist shortlist for Choice Music Prize Irish Artist of the Year.

“Even though it was something I really wanted to make, initially I was like, ‘I can’t make a record like that – I have to wrap it up in analogies and mythology’,” she told Hot Press last September.

“But in the end I was like, ‘I just need to tell the fucking story, move on, and grow up’. If people think I’m a sad case for still being angry about something that ended like six years ago, then they can do that. I don’t really judge them – it makes sense! But I just needed to do it anyway.”

Cian Ducrot released his debut full-length Victory last August. In the run up to the project the Frenc-Irish musician spoke to us on performing alongside Dermot Kennedy, The Jonas Brothers and Ed Sheeran and songwriting with SZA.
