The first acts have been announced for the Haiti Earthquake Fundraiser @ The Roundhouse - an extraordinary programme of live performances set to take place on Thursday 25th February in support of the humanitarian aid efforts of both ActionAid and Médecins Sans Frontières.

The initial line-up, brought together in only four days by music industry insiders - with support from industry bodies such as the Brit Awards - features a diverse range of music, comedy and television stars, programmed to create a spectacular evening of entertainment at Camden’s Roundhouse and, later, at the Proud Galleries.

With a further 250 pledges of support from performers, agents, promoters and venue owners, the organisers are promising several announcements of further headline acts in the next 10 days.

Tickets are on sale from 2pm Friday 22nd January and can be purchased directly from the HEF website – www.haitiearthquakefundraiser.com.

100% of money raised through the Fundraiser will be donated directly to ActionAid and Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) to support their work saving and re-building the lives of those affected by the Haiti earthquake.
