Coldplay's 'secret' Newcastle gig for homeless charity
MEGABAND Coldplay are to stage an "intimate" gig in Newcastle to highlight the hidden crisis of homelessness.
The "hidden gig" will take place in the city on December 20 and raise funds for Crisis, the national charity for single homeless people.
In their only live British performances of 2010, the award-winning band has agreed to play Crisis Hidden Gigs in Newcastle and Liverpool to raise money for the charity and increase awareness of the situation facing thousands of homeless hidden out of sight on floors or sofas, in substandard bed and breakfasts, and in hostels.
Friends of the band Ant and Dec will also be travelling home to Newcastle for Christmas, and have offered their compèring services for the night.
General tickets go on sale at 2pm on Friday and cost £50.
Tickets will be available via www.crisis.org.uk/hidden.
Meeting the whole needs of "the least of these"(Matthew 25:40). A teaching, counseling and social action networking ministry serving the poor locally by our presence and globally via the World Wide Web.
