Following on from last month's announcement which will see English Teacher, girli, and Katy J Pearson set to perform intimate live shows in venues across the country in support of War Child, the support acts have now been revealed. 

Girli will perform on Thursday 9th October at London’s Oslo, with support from Dirt Flirt. A solo project of London based Kit Eaton-Kent, a self-proclaimed pop enthusiast and ‘ex-emo’. 

Last year’s Mercury Prize winners, English Teacher, will take to the stage on Friday 10th October at Liverpool’s Hangar 34, with Neve Cariad supporting. Neve Cariad said: “We’ll be playing a gig raising money for War Child, who put emphasis on the women and girls particularly vulnerable to war. We felt it incredibly important to help those who have been affected, and continue to be affected by the wars and genocides that perpetuate.”

And closing out this year’s Day of the Girl in style, Katy J Pearson will perform on Sunday 12th October at London’s iconic The 100 Club, with Jimmy Means Smut as her opener and Sarah Meth as main support. Jimmy Means Smut is the moniker of London-based musician, Jasmine Miller-Sauchella. Jimmy Means Smut said: “I’m proud to be supporting War Child’s Day of the Girl, in solidarity with girls and women affected by conflict around the world. It’s important that we stand with girls living in war zones, amplify their voices, and work towards a world where their hopes aren’t lost to violence, but instead nurtured with dignity, opportunity and freedom.”

The Day of the Girl concerts are more than just performances; they are a lifeline for girls and women living through war. Right now, 612 million women and girls worldwide are living in conflict zones. A staggering 50% increase on this same number just 10 years ago. 

By taking part, fans and supporters will be supporting War Child’s work: Providing specialist mental health support; creating safe spaces to learn and play; promoting girls’ and women’s rights in communities; ensuring access to health care and legal support; providing job training and financial aid, and more to some of the most vulnerable women and girls around the world.
