Dizzee Rascal, Ellie Goulding And Jennifer Hudson To Perform At We Day UK
Dizzee Rascal and Jennifer Hudson are among the stars set to star in charity Free The Children’s first ever We Day UK.
Hosted by MTV UK’s very own Laura Whitmore, Bluey Robinson and Lilah Parsons, the day will be full of educational speeches, inspirational moments and show-stopping performances.
Joining Dizzee and J-Hud at the event, which will take place at Wembley Arena on 7th March, will be Ellie Goulding, Clive Owen, Harry Potter star Evanna Lynch, Pretty Little Liars actress Shay Mitchell plus Glee’s Jacob Artist. Former US Vice President Al Gore will also attend.
“We Day captures the very spirit that my sister and I continue to spread within our own organisation, the Julian D. King Gift Foundation. It’s that inspiration of the next generation that will bring change to this world,” J-Hud said of the event.
Tickets for We Day UK are only available to students who have earned one by undertaking a charitable act as part of the year-long We Act programme.
