'Shine' hitmakers Years & Years have been confirmed to perform at a special live 'unplugged' event that will raise money for the housing and homelessness charity Shelter. 

The event is due to take place at London's Union Chapel on Monday, December 12 and tickets are available via ballot only. Frontman Olly Alexander explained that he had to get involved because the organisation is doing such important work:

"We're linking up with Shelter for the first time and putting on a cute intimate performance to help mark their 50th anniversary :) We're hoping our fans will come see us and show support for Shelter's amazing work. It's going to be a special night."

"No child should have to face homelessness at any time, let alone Christmas. As a band, we're well aware of the incredible work that Shelter does, and we're very, very happy to be able to do our part to help them make sure no-one is left to fight bad housing or homelessness on their own."
