Hot Chip also set for Oxjam launch shows

The Kooks and Jarvis Cocker are set to play special charity gigs in aid of Oxfam.

The gig, which are part of Oxjam festival of music, will take place at some of the charity's shops across Britain.

The Kooks singer Luke Pritchard said: "Oxjam is all about thousands of small events adding up to something much bigger, so it's great to join in by playing a small acoustic show.

"Even better, music fans can get involved, whether coming along to this show or going to a local Oxjam night."

The line up is:

The Kooks and Jarvis Cocker (October 1)
Jamelia and Killa Kela (2)
Hot Chip and Bobby Friction (3)
Fatboy Slim and Emmanuel Jal (4)


The exact locations remain secret until October.

Fans can win tickets by going Oxfam.org.uk/oxjam/ or texting ‘Oxjam’ to 87099 before September 24.
