Rising Feat. : Laid Off at WAR CHILD

The Event

RISING is a platform that showcases the very best in new music, whilst raising vital funds for War Child UK. Created by London music promoters, Hot Vox, RISING has raised over £340,000 for War Child UK through gigs, showcases & live-streamed performances.

Now, RISING is evolving into a national fundraising competition, seeking out the best RISING talent and providing them with opportunities to push their career to the next level, all whilst raising awareness and vital funds for War Child UK.

RISING will see artists submit a live performance video filmed exclusively for War Child UK. Music fans will then be able to tune in from the comfort of their own homes whilst claiming creative rewards in return for their donations.

The Top 20 artists that raise the most money for War Child UK will have the opportunity to present their music to our expert panel of music industry professionals, which includes festival bookers, booking agents, producers, DJ’s, radio presenters and music journalists.

The panel is tasked with choosing our winner, who will receive a HUGE stack of prizes.

Who will be crowned the best in RISING talent?

Meet the lineup

Laid Off

getEventBio(), 250, true)?>

After getting fired from their jobs, five friends pursued their passion for music. They spent the summer of 2023 on the Isle of Wight at Chale Abbey Studio, Michael Kiwanuka and Flyte, producing a body of work set for release with producer Sam Grade. Inspired by Oasis, LCD Soundsystem, and Sticky Fingers, they’ve created a unique sound that explores themes of youth, connection, and growth.

Before the release of their first single ‘Not On, Kick On, Get On’, the first of a five track EP, Laid Off headlined the Camden Assembly, graced the stage of Bush Hall and O2 Academy Islington. Set to take the stage of The Old Blue Last in March, they really are ones to watch.
