So why must you attend the concert? For starters,

all tickets sales (less VAT and service fees) will go towards raising funds for projects, which will be disseminated through Catapult – the first crowd-funding platform dedicated to advancing the lives of girls and women. In a world first, via Catapult, fans will be able to choose exactly which projects their money goes towards and receive updates on their progress. A sell-out concert means that over 120 projects supporting women around the world will be 100% funded. Isn’t that amazing?
