Tom Walker gives a wonderful performance for BRITs Week 25, delivered by DHL for War Child
BRITs Week 25, delivered by DHL for War Child, continued last with a special acoustic performance from BRIT award winner Tom Walker in Glasgow.
The platinum-selling artist performed to a sold-out crowd at the highly celebrated King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut in Glasgow, continuing the stellar run of shows taking place for BRITs Week 2025. Performing beloved hit songs, including ‘Leave A Light On’ and ‘Just You And I’ fans were able to experience Walker’s remarkable talent in a close intimate setting.
BRITs Week 25, delivered by DHL for War Child gives fans the unforgettable opportunity to see intimate, one-off performances from some of the biggest and most exciting names in music at some of the UK’s best venues.
All proceeds from the shows go towards War Child’s phenomenal work to help provide protection, education, mental health support, and more while standing up for the rights of children whose lives have been devastatingly affected by war. The total amount raised for War Child by BRITs Week, since its inception in 2009, is over £7,430,000.
BRITs Week is produced by AEG Presents, BPI, DHL, and War Child, the charity for children affected by conflict. Proceeds from the shows will help to support War Child’s work that aims to reach children as early as possible when conflict breaks out and stays to support them through their recovery – keeping them safe, helping them learn and cope with their experiences, and equipping them with skills for a brighter future. Through BRITs Week, some of the biggest names in music will play a series of very special, intimate shows to help save lives around the world.

War Child works with local communities and governments to help protect and educate children, and support them to heal and learn, for a safer, brighter future.
