These new acts join an international lineup of artists:

www.sofarsounds.com/giveahome, where fans can enter to win tickets for their local show.
Give a Home aims to unite people in showing solidarity with those forced to flee their homes and raise awareness of solutions to the refugee crisis. At over 300 shows across 60 countries, music fans will host intimate gigs in their own homes with some of the world's biggest music stars, refugee artists, and activists.
The shows are in support of Amnesty International's I
Welcome refugee campaign, which mobilizes public pressure on governments to welcome refugees. Amnesty International's research shows that 4 in 5 people around the world are open to welcoming refugees, yet governments are failing to do their part.
