This very special evening will reunite all four original Rich Kids: guitarist Steve New<\/a>, drummer Rusty Egan<\/a>, bassist Glen Matlock and singer Midge Ure<\/a>. The event will take place at the O2 Academy, Islington<\/strong> on Thursday 7th January 2010<\/strong>. The show will start promptly at 7pm and tickets will be on sale here<\/a> from Friday 4th December. <\/p>\n Guests confirmed so far are The Illuminations<\/strong> (featuring Clive Langer, Steve Allen and Ian Broudie), TV Smith<\/strong> (from the Adverts), Viv Albertine<\/a> (from The Slits), Carbon\/Silicon<\/a> (featuring Mick Jones and Tony James), Patti Paladin<\/strong> and Gary Kemp<\/strong> (from Spandau Ballet).<\/p>\n Glen and Midge will perform solo slots on the night and Steve New will play with his band Beastellabeast<\/a> before all four of the Rich Kids<\/a> take to the stage for one night only. The special guests will no doubt \u201cjoin in the racket and play guitars very loudly” according to Midge Ure.<\/p>\n The gig is a benefit concert for the family of Rich Kids guitarist Steve New, who has battled with cancer for the last year.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Former Rich Kids members Glen Matlock and Midge Ure have joined forces to organise a celebratory benefit concert in London.
