Take That to play Brits charity show

Take That have been confirmed as the headliner of this year's War Child Brit Awards concert.

The band will take to the stage at O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire in London on February 23.

Proceeds from the gig will go towards charity War Child, with tickets going on sale at 9am UK time on Friday (January 23).

The event is being run in conjunction with the Brit Awards, which is taking place on February 25 at London's O2 Arena. Take That are also scheduled to perform at the ceremony.

War Child director of music Ben Knowles commented: "The War Child and O2 Brit Awards Show has seen some unforgettable performances over the last six years, including Gary Barlow joining Coldplay, The Killers and Bono for a legendary encore in 2009.

"War Child are delighted to welcome back Gary together with Mark and Howard to London's O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire, and to announce Take That as our headliners for 2015.

"It's going to be an incredible night for 2,000 lucky fans - and an important one for the thousands of children it will help War Child save from the horrors of war."
