FKP Scorpio to collaborate with War Child

FKP Scorpio has announced a new collaboration with War Child, an international rights organisation that supports children and young people living in conflict areas around the world.

The companies say they will combine their expertise in order to “empower concertgoers and music lovers to contribute to a better future for children in need”.

“We hope to spread awareness of the vulnerable situation of children in conflict-affected regions and collect funds to strengthen their safety, education, mental health and self-empowerment,” according to a statement.

Through the partnership with FKP Scorpio, War Child will be seen at most of FKP Scorpio’s events, with initiatives aimed at inspiring visitors to get involved and support their mission.

Ticketing companies Ticketmaster, Eventim, AXS and Tickster will support the partnership and work with FKP Scorpio to maximize awareness of War Child’s work.

“We look forward to spreading the message and supporting War Child’s work in every arena and stage”

“We are proud to partner with War Child and use our platform to make a difference for children affected by war and conflict,” says Bozo Rasic, CEO of FKP Scorpio Sweden. “Through our concerts and festivals, we can reach a wide audience and engage them in the work for a better world. We look forward to spreading the message and supporting War Child’s work in every arena and stage.”

Ranjani Srinivasan, CEO of War Child Sweden, adds: “We are incredibly excited to begin this collaboration with FKP Scorpio. For us, it is super important to be able to collaborate with the business world, especially with the music world, as music has an obvious place in War Child’s work. FKP Scorpio has a strong commitment to War Child’s work to ensure that no child ever grows up in war. This is a collaboration that inspires us! We look forward to all the fun we will cook up together in the future.”

This collaboration will involve several initiatives at FKP Scorpio’s events, including fundraising campaigns, information stations and digital activations to spread knowledge about children in crisis areas and War Child’s work.

War Child is the charity of choice for next year’s International Live Music Conference (ILMC), set to take place between the 25–28 February 2025.

The charity is also the longtime beneficiary of BRITs Week, an annual charity concert series featuring intimate one-off performances from big names in some of the UK’s best venues.

Since BRITs Week’s inception in 2009, the shows have raised more than £7 million for War Child to help children whose lives have been torn apart by war.
