COLDPLAY, LILY ALLEN AND LA ROUX MAKE BIG NOISE FOR MENCAP AT EXETER CASTLE
Coldplay, Lily Allen and La Roux head to Exeter Castle on 19 December for a special new event, Mencap’s Big Noise Session. The night will mark a festive homecoming for Exeter born-and-bred Chris Martin and a spectacular treat for just 500 lucky fans, with all proceeds going to learning disability charity Mencap.
Tickets for this once in a lifetime gig are sure to sell out quickly so will be available from 8 December, subject to subscription, at www.littlenoisesessions.org.uk costing £50. Those living in Exeter will have an additional chance to buy tickets as a limited number will go on sale at HMV, 191 High Street, Exeter on 10 December before going on general release the next day.
The event will be staged inside a marquee transformed into a Christmas winter wonderland. All three acts are set to perform unique, stripped back sets – Chris Martin said, “I don’t think there could be a better way to end the decade… La Roux, Lily Allen, Jo Whiley – what more can you ask for? We’re proud to support Mencap and, for me, it’s exciting to play my hometown. We haven’t played there since 2000. It’s going to be really, really special.”
There are over 1.5 million people with learning difficulties in the UK and they are some of the most excluded and disadvantaged people in society. Mencap works to change laws and services, challenge prejudice and directly support thousands of people to live their lives as they choose.
