It was announced over the weekend that the legendary Foo Fighters will play a very special intimate show at Manchester’s O2 Ritz, this Friday 27 February – an incredibly small gig for an incredible huge band. The show is predictably now sold out, but fans may be in luck, because BRITs Week partner War Child are giving eight lucky fans the chance to be at this special Foo Fighters gig, with a prize draw worth its weight in gold.
By entering the prize draw, you’ll be in with a chance of winning one of four pairs of tickets to see Foo Fighters up close and personal. All proceeds from the draw will support War Child’s vital work protecting, educating, and standing up for the rights of children whose lives have been torn apart by war.
