A Special Announcement from Maximo Park

Maximo Park are doing a one-off gig at the Forum on 28 May with three support acts including Blood Red Shoes. The latest blog from me Geordie Lads says:

Maximo Park are pleased to announce a special one off concert at the Forum in Kentish Town, London on 28th May 2008!

Support comes from Mystery Jets, Blood Red Shoes and Pete and the Pirates. The show is in aid of two cancer charities including The Royal Marsden. It will be one of the bands few live appearances this year and looks like being a very special evening. All proceeds from the night will go to charity.

Pre-sale to mailing list members will start at 9am on Tuesday 8th April and will go on general sale to the public on Wednesday 9th April.

Tickets are on sale at £20 for general admission and £50 with access to some free booze, food and dj's at the aftershow. Good luck with getting your tickets!

Paul writes "When someone you know is up against cancer it makes sense to give them your full support. Since that is currently the case, and that person is being treated at The Royal Marsden hospital, which was recently damaged by fire, we decided to do what we can as a band. What we do best is play concerts and we intend to give all profit from our gig at The Forum to help rebuild the cancer unit where they not only look after sufferers but continue to further our knowledge and treatment of the disease. We've never been a preachy band or asked people to shell out daft amounts for tickets, but this show will be well worth the entry fee for a number of reasons."

Well, I know what I'll be doing at 9:00am tomorrow morning...
