SPECIAL GUESTS ANNOUNCED AS PART OF SISTERS: ANNIE LENNOX AND FRIENDS

On 6 March 2025, an unforgettable night at the Royal Albert Hall will bring together some of the most talented artists and activists in the world. SISTERS: Annie Lennox and Friends is more than just a concert—it’s a celebration of music, solidarity, and action for women and girls worldwide.

A Star-Studded Lineup

The legendary Annie Lennox will be joined by an incredible group of artists, including Celeste, Nadine Shah, and Ríoghnach Connolly. Their powerful voices and unique styles will add to the magic of this already sold-out event. Hosting the night will be the award-winning broadcaster Clara Amfo, and special guest speaker Misan Harriman—a renowned photographer and activist—will take the stage to highlight the importance of supporting women’s rights.

But that’s not all—fans can expect surprise appearances from even more special guests on the night, making this a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Supporting Women and Girls Worldwide

This extraordinary event is raising funds for The Circle, a global feminist organisation dedicated to fighting for the rights of marginalised women and girls. From combating gender-based violence to addressing economic inequality, The Circle works tirelessly to create a fairer world.

Annie Lennox, a long-time advocate for women’s rights, expressed her excitement:

“I’m absolutely delighted to announce the line-up of artists, speakers, and special guests taking part in The Circle’s inaugural SISTERS event! It’s been amazing to have so many of my favourite artists answer the call to support The Circle’s mission. The fact that tickets sold out in minutes has been life-affirming—especially as I recently celebrated my 70th year on the planet! The need for action has never been greater.”

A Chance to Attend – For One Night Only

For those who missed out on tickets, there’s still hope! Thanks to a partnership with For One Night Only (FONO), a charity prize draw is offering 15 pairs of tickets to this sold-out event. Winners will also receive an exclusive invite to Annie Lennox’s soundcheck—a rare opportunity to witness a legend at work before the show.

The Circle’s Impact

Founded by Annie Lennox, The Circle is a unique organisation committed to standing in solidarity with women worldwide. Their work spans across countries like Afghanistan and South Sudan, tackling issues such as gender-based violence, economic insecurity, and crisis response. Over the past 15 years, The Circle has directly supported over 1.4 million people and empowered more than 700,000 women and girls.

Raakhi Shah, CEO of The Circle, highlighted the urgency of their mission:

“With over 300 million women and girls living in extreme poverty and 1 in 3 women facing violence in their lifetime, things are getting worse for many women around the world. It’s never been a more critical time to get involved.”

Named after the iconic feminist anthem “Sisters Are Doin’ It for Themselves”, this event is a testament to the power of music, activism, and unity. As we approach International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month, SISTERS: Annie Lennox and Friends is a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when we stand together.
