Posted on

Self-proclaimed gypsy punk rockers Gogol Bordello have announced a very special concert to end their European tour. The intimate London show will be a charity fundraiser for Ukraine.

The concert will take place at Electric Brixton on July 16, 2022. £5 from each ticket sold will be donated to Care.org Ukrainian Crisis Response, a charity aiming to provide emergency assistance to four million people.

“London always responded raucously to what we do, perhaps because of its own class

struggles. … Since the beginning of invasion, London has been a very central place of support for

Ukraine’s Victory – not only with fundraising events, but with every tangible kind of

support to bring about Ukraine’s victory as fast as possible.”

O2 presale: Monday, 9 May at 10:00 a.m. UK
Live Nation presale: Tuesday, 10 May at 10:00 a.m. UK
General sale: Wednesday, 11 May at 10:00 a.m. UK

The band’s Ukrainian frontman Eugene Hütz recently collaborated with Primus‘ Les Claypool, Sean Lennon, Stewart Copeland, Gogol bandmate Sergey Rabtsev, and Billy Strings on Zelensky: The Man with the Iron Balls. Proceeds from sales of the single will be donated to Nova Ukraine.

Hütz also collaborated with Jesse Malin to cover The Pogues‘ song If I Should Fall From Grace With God. In this case, the proceeds will go to the U.S.-Ukraine Foundation.
