Fight poverty and enjoy big music events for free!

Fancy a free ticket to see Justin Timberlake, Snow Patrol or The Killers? Or how about Bon Jovi, Basement Jaxx, Mumford & Sons or Kings of Leon? Or maybe you prefer big festivals like Electric Picnic, Longitude or Oxegen? 
 
Over the next few months our team of volunteer stewards, activists and shop assistants will attend Oxegen, Electric Picnic, Longitude, Tennants Vital, Belsonic, Aviva stadium shows, Phoenix Park shows and more to be announced.

Volunteer stewards work as low-level security at the events with the money donated by festival organisers going to help Oxfam fight poverty, while volunteer activists engage festival goers by spreading the word about our Ending Poverty Starts with Women campaign. Volunteer shop assistants look after the Oxfam festival shop, raising money for our life-changing projects around the world. All volunteers must be over 18 on the day of the event.

 

You’ll gain access to festivals and concerts free of change, get to meet and work alongside some amazing fellow volunteers and help us fight poverty and injustice together while seeing some of the biggest acts in music. Win-win!

 

Whichever event you lend a hand at, you'll get to enjoy some of best live music the summer has to offer!
