Norwegian alt-pop star AURORA will illuminate London’s historic Union Chapel with an intimate performance on December 10, 2025, as part of a special fundraising event for War Child. The concert, structured as two thematic acts—Dusk and Dawn—will explore activism, humanity, hope, and renewal through AURORA’s ethereal sound and storytelling.
All proceeds from the event will support War Child’s humanitarian efforts for children affected by conflict worldwide, addressing the urgent needs of youth living in war zones. With nearly 20% of children globally growing up amid violence and instability, the timing of the concert strategically coincides with increased winter hardships in conflict areas like Gaza and Afghanistan, where temperatures can plummet to 6°C and -20°C respectively.
Every penny raised helps children in war zones survive winter’s deadly grip—where survival isn’t guaranteed when temperatures fall.
AURORA, who has served as a War Child ambassador for several years, blends electronic pop and folk influences in her music while actively advocating for environmental and social issues. This event represents one of the multiple revenue streams that allow artists to support causes while sustaining their musical careers. Her immersive live performances, which combine dance and storytelling, have become platforms for raising awareness and inspiring social action globally.
The event will feature special guests participating in both acts, enhancing the thematic journey from activism to hope. During the interval, attendees will experience unique Norwegian festive traditions and have the opportunity to purchase limited-edition merchandise, further contributing to the fundraising effort.
War Child focuses on providing safety, mental health support, and learning spaces for children whose lives have been disrupted by war. The organization also delivers cash assistance to help families afford essential items like food, fuel, and warm clothing. The organization offers emergency assistance to families affected by conflict and displacement, addressing critical issues like hypothermia and starvation that become even more dangerous during winter months.
“Music has the power to inspire action and aid crucial fundraising for children in need,” noted War Child’s UK Live Music Lead.
Fans are encouraged to engage with AURORA’s social media platforms where she regularly shares updates about the cause and behind-the-scenes content from her preparation for this special performance.
As healthcare services collapse and homes are destroyed in conflict zones, this rare intimate performance in one of London’s most stunning venues aims to mobilize support for the most vulnerable victims of war—children facing cold, hunger, and instability in increasingly desperate circumstances. Fans should note that tickets are limited to 2 per person to ensure fair access to this special performance.
