Fightstar To Play Oxfam Show This March

Fightstar have announced details of a one-off show in London this March in collaboration with Oxfam and Lowlife.

The show will take place at Madam Jo Jo’s in Soho on the very day their new single ‘Floods’ is released on March 3 – a song that reflects directly upon the issue of climate change.

Former Busted member Charlie Simpson says the track was written in the wake of seeing Al Gore’s climate change film ‘An Inconvenient Truth.’

He explains: “Like most people I was blissfully unaware of how bad things had become, and I realized that we should all be facing responsibility for the way we behave. It really inspired the whole record, how we treat our planet and our society now, is going to have repercussions in 50 years time.”

Two support acts will be announced soon for the show, which will donate all ticket proceeds to Oxfam. Tickets go on sale from 9am tomorrow morning (February 8).

‘Floods’ is lifted from the band’s second album ‘One Day Son, This Will All Be Yours’, which has been recorded in Los Angeles with Matt Wallace.
