The Filthy Dukes, We Have Band and Jeremy Warmsley are all confirmed with a host of other bands and djs to play this year's Army Of You gig for charity War Child.
The event which takes place on Wednesday July 15 at The Tabernacle, Notting Hill, continues their tradition of featuring some of the best up and coming acts. Previous year's gigs have seen Friendly Fires, The Noisettes and The Rumble Strips all play to sold-out crowds.
