Also performing at the Under 1 Roof concert at Londons Hammersmith Eventim Apollo are Lily Allen, Dynamo and Rizzle Kicks. Coldplay frontman Chris Martin said: Buying a ticket to this concert will guarantee two things: a totally unique never-to-be-repeated night of star-spangled entertainment, and money in the Christmas coffers of a charity that brings love and happiness to Londons most vulnerable kids. Fearne Cotton will host the evening, which is raising money for Kids Company - a charity which works with vulnerable children and young people in London and Bristol. Coldplay headlined the first U1R concert in 2011 at Londons O2 with support from Steve Coogan as Alan Partridge, Tinie Tempah, Rob Brydon and Emeli Sandé, raising over £400,000. Tickets go on sale this Thursday, November 14 at 9am. Instruments and outfits from the bands Mylo Xyloto world tour will also be auctioned via eBay for Kids Company. The charitys founder Camila Batmanghelidjh said: When you feel happy your heart flips - Coldplay have made thousands of childrens heart flip not just through their music but through their kindness and support. The concert will bring together some incredible talent under one roof to help some incredibly courageous, vulnerable children who are surviving their childhood so that they might have a brighter future.
