Head here to find tickets for the stream and the raffle.

Radiohead’s contribution to the raffle is a test pressing of Kid A. Other prizes include a Slowdive guitar pedal and signed merch from Mogwai, Florence + the Machine, Sharon Van Etten, Idles, Beak>, Laura Marling, Metz, Young Fathers, Mclusky, and many more. An easy-to-read flyer compiling some of the raffle prizes can be found at Learning Disability Wales.
