Following the enormous success of World Hunger Day 2011, with more than 100 performers and 2,000+ guests celebrating in London, we are thrilled to announce that The Hunger Project-United Kingdom (THP-UK) will again be organizing a gala concert featuring multi-Grammy Award Winning music icon Dionne Warwick — this time at the Royal Albert Hall in London.

As a major highlight of her 50th Anniversary World Tour, Dionne will be joined by a stunning line-up of her peers from around the globe and will perform many of the classic songs that have secured her place as one of the greatest voices in the history of popular music. The evening promises to deliver some once in a lifetime live duets and solo performances of songs that have become part of the soundtrack to all our lives including Dionne's instantly recognizable collaborations with Burt Bacharach and Hal David, Barry Manilow and The BeeGees. The evening will also provide the first opportunity for UK audiences to hear songs from Dionne's latest critically acclaimed album, Only Trust Your Heart.

In addition to her very special guests, Dionne will be supported for this unique occasion by her own band of musicians from around the world, the stunning Southbank Sinfonia and The London Community Gospel Choir.

Performances will also include:

  • Boy George
  • Tony Hadley
  • Joe McElderry
  • Mica Paris
  • Sandie Shaw
  • Jumoké Fashola

Check back soon as more artists join us in the coming weeks!
