Hunger and starvation have been two great issues around the world for many years, but the numbers have only gone up since Covid-19 began to spread. Clean Bandit, Global Citizen, and many more have shown support, with some set to appear on the livestream. The organisation is not asking for donations, but simply a signature on the petition, or a Tweet sent to world leaders.

To watch the livestream, titled ‘House Party Against Hunger’, supporters can tune in on Clean Bandit’s YouTube channel at 12pm (BST) on 8th August. The line-up will include acts such as UK DJ Joel Corry, American musical duo Sophie Tukker, and French DJ duo Ofenbach. The full line-up can be found in Clean Bandit’s Instagram post below.

Clean Bandit have posted to their social media pages to encourage followers to stream and join the fight, as well as speaking to Global Citizen to discuss why they feel so passionately about this matter. They said, “We couldn’t be more excited to partner with Global Citizen on House Party Against Hunger. It’s never been more important to take action to empower the world’s most vulnerable people, especially those from rural and remote communities.”

They continued, “The world desperately needs more empathy. That’s why we’re backing Global Citizen’s campaign calling on world leaders to do more in the fight against hunger — and urging our fans looking forward to our all-day house party on August 8 to head to their social action platform and support the campaign too. It’s not about donating money. It’s about raising your voice.”
