Music Support launches first fundraising gig with To Kill a King

02 May 2018 - Press release

To Kill A King will headline the first fundraising gig for music mental health and addictions charity Music Support on May 28th 2018.

The band will perform at Omeara, London, for a special fundraising show and will be bringing along Charlie Barnes and Monty Taft in support.

Proceeds from ticket sales will go to Music Support to help the charity achieve their mission of ensuring that no one in the UK music industry suffers mental or emotional health or addiction issues alone.  

Music Support continue to offer vital lifelines to those that work in music including a 24/7 helpline, festival safe tents, crisis support and workshop training.

Money raised from this event will go towards ensuring that more people are aware of the services provided and that services continue to reach those that need it most.

Following the release of their recent album "Spiritual Dark Age" in January 2018, To Kill A King have already completed a successful UK headline tour, supported Bastille on the "Reorchastrated" tour and are about to head out to Europe.

"Music Support do incredibly important work in an industry that can be exploitative of its artists and when we were asked to get involved, we jumped at the chance. Omeara is one of our favourite small venues and we're planning on making it a really special night," said guitarist, Grant McNeill.

"This  our first ever fundraising show and we are incredibly proud and excited that a band with the caliber of To Kill A King are joining us. It goes to show that we are really receiving support from all areas of the industry across the board, and events like this enable us to continue providing the crucial services to the industry that we saw such a need for."
