Bastille, Duran Duran and Andy Bell and Mark Gardener of Ride will perform in tiny venues to raise money for War Child.

The charity's new campaign Passport Back To The Bars will see artists play venues of maximum 300 capacity during BRITS week in February 2015. All profits will go to helping the charity.

As well as Bastille, Duran Duran and Ride's Andy Bell and Mark Gardener (performing acoustically) further bands are set to be announced. Dates, venues and details on how to win tickets will be announced in early January. To register for information visit warchild.org.uk/passport.

This marks ten years since War Child’s original Passport Back To The Bars shows which featured intimate shows from The Cure, David Gray, Elbow, Pet Shop Boys, Supergrass and Amy Winehouse.

Bastille recently released their latest mixtape Vs (Other People's Heartache Pt.III) featuring Haim, MNEK and Rag'N'Bone Man.
