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 Rising competition with Hot Vox and War Child was an absolutely amazing experience! It gives bands the opportunity to get in the studio and record a smashing live set and connect with fans, whilst raising money for an amazing charity!

We all knew that signing up to take part in Rising would be a great thing to do. Every aspect of the Rising experience was really fun, and we really enjoyed promoting our fundraiser. We were also so stoked to find out we had won the slot to play at Forwards Festival in Bristol, it was a really great day and we’ll never forget it!

If you can, definitely get involved!”
