War Child have unveiled the tracklisting for their compilation album, The Best Of War Child, which will feature the likes of U2, Muse and Coldplay to be released on Monday, February 18.

The charity will be celebrating its 20th anniversary next week and the occasion is being marked by an intimate Muse concert as well as the the release of the compilation record.

War Child’s Musical Director, Ben Knowles told NME: “The compilation documents the way War Child has had this integral, credible and proud relationship with the great and good of British music

“It's one of the most amazing stories of British music history, the incredible support that came together around War Child back in 1994 and 1995 and has continued ever since."


'House Of The Rising Sun' from Muse will appear on The Best Of War Child record

The Best Of War Child will also include tracks from Radiohead, David Bowie, Massive Attack, Suede and Elbow in a 20-track album - a track to celebrate each year that War Child has been in existence.

War Child focuses on supporting children in areas of conflict and post-conflict and will deservedly be receiving the Lifetime Acheivement Award at the BRIT Awards 2013.
