Stars line up for Japan Fundraiser @ The Hoxton Pony

The View, Ed Sheeran, Metronomy, Mat Horne and Huw Stephens are just some of the artists coming together for Help Japan; a fundraising event for victims of the Japanese Tsunami.

Nearly 20,000 people are estimated to have died in the disaster. The earthquake triggered fires and caused severe damage to buildings, leaving 1.2 million homes without electricity and 1.4 million without water.

The Japanese Red Cross has been working on the ground since the disaster began, mobilising 85 teams, made up of more than 700 doctors, nurses and support staff, to provide first aid and healthcare and assess the damage and needs of the communities affected.

Help Japan will be an evening of live bands, singers, rappers, DJs and dancers, all introduced by some of the UK’s best-loved television personalities - sponsored by Hoxton Gin – with all proceeds going directly to the Red Cross Japan Tsunami appeal.

The full line up is as follows:

Live acts
The View/ Yasmin/ Ed Sheeran/ The Subways/ Diagram of the Heart/ Random Impulse/ Spark/ All The Young/ Dave Gibson (The Empire)
DJs
