The band – who are currently working on their fourth album – will perform their only scheduled date until next summer as part of the incredible line-up.
“It is our pleasure to be part of XFM’s Christmas do this year,” frontman Tom commented. “To help this wonderful station celebrate will be a lot of fun. The night is made all the more worthwhile for us by being in aid of War Child, a longstanding charity which continues to do amazing work and has continued to work hand in hand with bands and musicians we love. The original Help album sits proudly on my shelf still.”
