The Gathering organiseert benefiet concert in en voor Chili

The Gathering gaat een benefiet concert geven voor de slachtoffers van de aardbeving in Chili. Het concert zal ook plaatsvinden in Chili.

"Normally it would take months to put up a concert like this, but when we heard about the earthquake we immediately felt the need to do something to help.

"The Chilean people have always given us such a warm welcome and giving this special concert is the most natural and personal way for us to do something back. We hope to not only raise money for the people that are in need of help, but also to give some hope and strength to rebuild this beautiful country after such a natural disaster. It will also be the first time for our new vocalist Silje Wergeland, who joined the band for the latest album, 'The West Pole', to play in Chile. She is very happy to be part of this very special event and has also worked really hard to make this come true.

"In co-operation with Chile Ayuda, the money raised will be donated to Red Cross Chile to help the people in need after the damages from the earthquake."
