Paul Weller, Matt Berninger, and more artists have been announced on the bill for the returning ‘Starry Night’, which raises vital funds for the Streets of London’s charity work across the city to help the homeless.
Taking place at the Royal Albert Hall on December 10, the event’s bill features artists playing stripped back, acoustic songs all with the shared goal of raising as much for Streets of London’s important work at a time of year when it’s needed most.

Also speaking on the concert, Ian Steuart Fothringham, director of Streets of London, said: “We’re really grateful that such an amazing line-up of artists has generously agreed to play at our Christmas fundraising show, to help people experiencing homelessness. Rough sleeping in London continues to be at record levels.
“It’s up again 10 per cent in the last year and is now at five times the level it was 20 years ago. The money raised from this event will have a direct and significant impact helping people who are street homeless, funding multiple projects that offer life-changing support.
“This support has a profound effect on individual lives, helping people in crisis to get back on their feet and move away from life on the streets.”
