In a highly anticipated event, music icon Annie Lennox is set to make her grand return to the UK stage after a six-year hiatus. The former Eurythmics star will headline a special concert at London's prestigious Royal Albert Hall on March 6, 2025, in support of women's rights.
The event, titled "SISTERS: Annie Lennox and Friends at the Royal Albert Hall," aims to raise funds for The Circle, a global feminist organization founded by Lennox herself in 2008. The Circle's mission is to support marginalized women and girls worldwide who face violence and injustice.
Lennox expressed her excitement about the upcoming performance, stating, "I am delighted to be headlining 'SISTERS: Annie Lennox and Friends' at the Royal Albert Hall during Women's History Month next year." She emphasized the urgency of the cause, noting that millions of women and girls globally are facing increased oppression, with one in three experiencing violence in their lifetime.
The concert's name pays homage to the 1985 feminist anthem "Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves," recorded by Eurythmics and Aretha Franklin. This powerful message of female empowerment continues to resonate today, making it a fitting title for this landmark event.
Scheduled just two days before International Women's Day, the concert promises to be an inspirational occasion. Lennox hopes that the event will make a substantial difference in the lives of women striving for safety, gender equality, and justice around the world.
Fans and supporters can secure their tickets starting November 15, 2023, at 10 am. A pre-sale will be available through The Circle and the Royal Albert Hall on November 14, 2023, also beginning at 10 am.
This concert marks a significant moment for both music enthusiasts and advocates for women's rights, offering a unique opportunity to enjoy Lennox's exceptional talent while contributing to a worthy cause.
