Coldplay and The Killers will perform at a very special gig on February 18 for charity War Child.

Just 2,000 fans will be able to attend the show at Shepherds Bush Empire and youll have to enter a ballot to get the chance to buy them. Each band will play a 45 minute set after attending the Brit awards earlier in the evening.

The evening celebrates War Childs 15th birthday and the release of a new compilation of covers being released.

Registration to get tickets opens for five days from this Friday (Jan 30) at the Warchild website.

A Coldplay statement said: In our eyes, War Child is one of the world's most important charities, and The Killers are one of our favourite bands, so playing this concert is an absolute pleasure for us.
