Nine Irish acts are coming together for a one-night-only Artists Amplify Unicef event.
Nine incredible Irish acts are joining forces for a special fundraising event, Artists Amplify Unicef, to aid children affected by war.
The event is set to take place on April 16 at Dublin's The Workman's Club. The night features Elaine Mai, 49th & Main, Daithi, Enola Gay, Nealo, Rebel Pheonix, Farah Elle, Fia Moon and Vale.
Presented by Amplify Agency, the one-night-only event seeks to raise €10,000 in proceeds for UNICEF. Both the artists and venue are providing their services free of charge. Renowned illustrator Aaron Fahy – previous collaborations include Lil Nas X, IDK and Bree Runaway – has designed the poster and graphics of the show, once again free of charge.

Additionally, Dublin Shirt Co. has teamed up with the agency to produce 100 limited edition t-shirts that will be sold along with the tickets and on the night while stock lasts. Both the tickets and the printing company have lowered their operation fees to ensure that a majority of the proceeds go directly to Unicef.
Tickets will be on sale from this Friday (March 25) at 9am via Tickets.ie.
In the past month alone, the number of people fleeing Ukraine since Putin's invasion has reached 10 million. Over 400 million children live in countries affected by violent conflict and are especially vulnerable to abuse, exploitation and trafficking during emergency situations.
In a press release the agency said: "Sometimes, it can be hard to know how to help raising the kind of money needed to make a difference can seem insurmountable. But, every cent helps and when people come together we can achieve great things. What’s more, we have a creative community in Ireland that is willing and ready to give their time and talent to raise much-needed funds for UNICEF so that they can help children affected by war."
