As a result of incredibly high demand for tickets, the charity Autism Rocks has announced an extension to the concert featuring Ricky Martin set to take place on 23rd September. In order to give fans who could not buy tickets for the first event another chance, there will now be a second gig to be held on Thursday 22nd September.
A number of events
The two-day event is the first of two Autism Rocks Sessions to be held this year. This follows on from the success of the charity’s tribute to Prince which took place in June in London. That event attracted over 6000 Prince fans and raised £101,330. This year the second Autism Rocks Session will occur on the 23rd of December and feature Nile Rodgers.
Insanely popular
Ricky Martin is best known for his insanely popular number one hit “Livin’ la Vida Loca” and is often credited for bringing Latin pop music to the masses. He has sold more than 60 million albums worldwide and continues to tour the world playing sold out stadium and arena gigs. He is currently on his “One World” tour and his generous support for Autism Rocks means British fans will get their only chance to see him at the Eventim Apollo in London which will be his only UK gigs.
Tickets to the second release of the Autism Rocks Session with Ricky Martin will be available from today at www.eventimapollo.com and www.aeglive.co.uk between £35 to £55.
International businessman Sanjay Shah, founder of Autism Rocks said: “We are so pleased that Ricky Martin and Nile Rogers are lending their support to our cause. Artists of their standing can do so much to raise awareness of the condition and help us reach a wider audience. Autism is the fastest growing developmental disorder in the world. It is our wish that people have a better understanding of the condition and that people on the autistic spectrum are fully supported and able reach their true potential.”
